Hi. I have reverted all your links that your recently made for three reasons, the first is that Wikipedia is not a collection of links according to policy and second, a lot of the information contained on the institute website is not correct. Thirdly, it appears that it is self promotion since you only add the links to the SWF institute on this account and not edit or helpful in any other way. --PatrickFlaherty (talk) 10:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'd be much obliged if you could respond to this message. It seems a significant majority of your recent edits have been inserting links to this website; taking that in tandem with your lack of responsiveness, it appears you may have a conflict of interest. At any rate, it would be wonderful if this issue could be discussed. Please respond. – Luna Santin (talk) 01:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I have contributed a lot of valid facts and citations from the Institute to the wikipedia community. PatrickFlaherty represents Amadan International, another research institution on sovereign wealth funds and competitor to the Institute, and is deleting relevant and critical information and important links on sovereign wealth funds to the detriment of the credibility they deserve for their contributions. The incentives behind his actions may be a conflict of interest. He subjectively claims that 'a lot of information from the Institute's website is not correct'; however, this is a vague and unexplored statement. His reasonings behind reversing my links and contributions to wikipedia are an excuse to hide his business objectives. MikeMaadogg (talk)

- Hi Mike. A few comments on your post. Firstly, I don't represent Amadan International. I am a senior researcher for the company but my views do not represent the many employees that make up the company and the board of directors. Secondly, I have not deleted anything but links to your site, which as i say has incorrect information and I would more then happy to provide some examples if I can have a few hours. Thirdly, I really dislike the single minded pursuit of adding stuff to Wikipedia which according to your contributions, you do just that. Lastly, we are not using Wikipedia to gain business at all. Any employers that are found doing just that are severely reminded that it is against our policy and wikipedia. But anyways mike this is out of our hands now. Cheers! --PatrickFlaherty (talk) 23:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- It appears that a link to SWF Institute that you have been repeatedly attempting to insert in the State Administration of Foreign Exchange article is totally unrelated to the actual subject. Therefore, your edits appear to constitute vandalism, and it appears that PatrickFlaherty is merely removing the WP:LINKSPAM, and not furthering any personal agenda as you seem to be implying. I would ask you to kindly desist from engaging in an edit war in this connection. Happy editing. Ohconfucius (talk) 15:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
