Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Mike Doughney (talk) 09:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, 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 or creating 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 Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Mike Doughney (talk) 10:05, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Please note also that Wikipedia articles may not used as a soapbox to self-publish your own views or opinions. I have reverted your inclusion of such content at Joel Osteen and Lakewood Church. JGHowes   talk  02:30, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Simply because I was on a soapbox does not make the reference, which if you note this account did not originally create, soapboxing. The fact that I have published a book critical of Osteen and preached outside his church is relevant to criticism of him. I am reversing your revert, please leave it alone or I will report you for revert warring. Adamkey (talk) 04:16, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

thanks
Thanks so much, Adamkey. To help you understand further how this kind of sub-topic, when notable, has been dealt with on Wikipedia, please have a look at Oral_Roberts_University. See all the many independent and reliable sources which are cited, along with the very neutral but straightforward language in the article text. As I recall, it wasn't added to the article until news of the lawsuit was carried by the Associated Press and other big American news outlets. Gwen Gale (talk) 18:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
