Hello, AsmSantabarbara. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Angelo Santabarbara, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It appears that you have added a link to an image on an external website in a recent edit, likely in an attempt to display that image on the page. For technical and policy reasons, it is not possible to use images from external websites on Wikipedia. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request an upload. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you.

Wikipedia specifically blocks displaying an image from an external link. It needs to be uploaded first. If the image begins with "http...", it will not display. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 05:40, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

If the contents of the brackets don't match the article title, the link will be red and it won't work. If you want to have the link text be different than the article use a pipe: Angelo L. Santabarbara (leave off the nowiki). I did this with List of University at Albany people Please test your edit by clicking on the "Show preview" button and check for errors before saving. Cheers.
