If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked without further warning.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Thank you. --Ronz 16:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict of interest

Hello, I'm a site administrator who read a report on Wikipedia's conflict of interest noticeboard. Many of your edit summaries indicate business history and probably are factual, although unverified. If you'd like this site to reflect this type of information, I advise the following approach:

• If your professional relationships might cause an appearance of impropriety, then post suggested changes to the article talk page rather than editing the article yourself.
• Include one or more full line citations with each suggested change.
• Disclose your potential conflict of interest fully.

Let uninvolved Wikipedia editors evaluate and adapt your desired edits. If you'd like to draw attention to this type of request you could post to the relevant WikiProjects. This site strives for neutral tone and encyclopedic prose, which is quite different from the style of most promotional writing. Occasionally the press picks up on a conflict of interest story that involves Wikipedia editing - when that happens the story tends to snowball and cause substantial media backlash. I've summarized some of the well known cases at this essay. Best wishes, Durova^Charge! 20:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
