Your edit to Solvent
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 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 you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

[User_Talk:Beetstra] Sorry but I don't understand what conflict of interest exists other user Rifleman does not like people editing this page. I understand neutral encyclopedia but I believe that books are important part of gaining knowledge. Most science books are sold in very small quantities, so if anyone who things that some scientist is committing years of their life to research for personal gain are wrong. They are doing it because they love it and what people to learn from it. I don't have any personal gain from the edit. I am a chemistry teacher and just want to participate in this encyclopedia. My first experience however is not been that great. Do I have to create different Solvent page in order to not have COI if Rifleman. I would appreciate if you can let me know. I would like to contribute knowledge but I don't have time for disputes and wars. Also I did explain in summary what I was adding and Mr. Rifleman just fires at it with delete button with no explanation.


 * The guideline conflict of interest deals with information added by people where they have a personal connection to the subject. I believe, by overlap of your username with one of the authors of the book, that you have such a conflict of interest.  In such cases it is better to discuss such things first on the talkpage, because we can not check if you have a gain in having the link on that page, so it is better to just avoid that possibility.
 * Regarding the link itself. Wikipedia is about writing an encyclopedia, not about adding links to places where there is more information.  And sections as 'external links' and 'further reading' do invite people to add more links, and I think it is a disservice to the quality of many links in such sections.  They serve their function better as a reference (see reliable sources, and also, for people with slow internet access, or with offline versions of the wikipedia, it is better to have the info in the document, not as an external link.  As I do believe you know much about the subject, you could improve the page solvent by writing parts that are missing (where you could maybe use your book as a reference; see WP:CITE and WP:FOOT on the best ways of how to use references).
 * If you are interested in chemistry, why don't you join user:Rifleman 82 and me on the WikiProject Chemistry? There is much to do in this area, and I am sure you can be a valuable source of knowledge for us.  Happy editing, and have a nice day!  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 21:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

T Thank you Beetstra for your invite I will definetly try to participate. I think first I have to read up more on the editing process because I am not used to it.
