Welcome!

Hello, MrsHoldridge, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...

• ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
• ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
• ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
• ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
• ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process – at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Thanks for your contributions to Graefenberg Medical Institute. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Drowssap SMM 00:09, 7 April 2024 (UTC) reply

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Dennis C. Abrams ( talk) 13:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi When your posting book references, even if they are in external links, don't post a spam link like [1] That is shop, which means its promotional breaking the Terms of Use. Use sites that hosts these books and are recognised sources, like Google Books, Guuteberg, various archive, Internet Archive and so on but never a shop selling it. If you creating a book reference, use the full citation, and use WorldCat to find the details, which is an index of all books (in the modern sense) to form the citation. The cite book template in the editor window gives various url lookup fields, so if you put in a google reference for example. Taking a look at an example: [2] on Classic google books. You can use this part [3] as a lookup in the url field and it will auto populate it. Hope that helps. scope_creep ^Talk 07:00, 26 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Also don't post your own books as references. WP:SELFCITE applies and you do seem to have similar names, so if you are the author, you need to declare it as you seem to have a WP:COI. It is considered an WP:SPS source and will be removed. scope_creep ^Talk 07:04, 26 April 2024 (UTC) reply
