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.

 * I suppose I'm trying to ask - what makes this person notable? She's an assistant comic book artist, from what I can see. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry 01:02, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Assistant comic book artist? She's never even published a comic. She's a Fulbright scholar who was in the Whitney Biennial. She's a culture and technology theorist who speaks at conferences around the world. She has three books and has been published in dozens of journals and anthologies. Her peers: Gonzalo Frasca, Katie Salen, and Eric Zimmerman, all have entries on WIkipedia. And she's referenced in the videogame art entry. Did you read the entry or follow the links, how many more citations and external links does the article need? --Apethought 15:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
