Hello, Barefeetandcoffee. 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 Triangle productions!, 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.
 * 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. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 22:21, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Triangle
The first instruction when creating a new account is that you follow the link to see what names are appropriate. Unfortunately, we can't make people read it. The fact is that user names representing companies, organisations or products are invariably used to promote their subject. The block on the Triangle account was actually generous, because it allowed you to create a new account, usually this is not permitted either. I assume the blocking admin decided that you were not setting out deliberately to promote the theatre. The article is at AfD now, since its notability has been challenged, and you are entitled to comment there. Local notability is not enough, so the AFD will decide whether the theatre meets our notability criteria. I'm not unsympathetic, but we are bombarded with obscure pop groups, amateur sports teams, local drama groups, would-be rap stars and the like, and not everything merits an encyclopaedia article.

One thing I would suggest is that you lower case the shouty capitals in some of your refs. Also only link to another Wikipedia article once, repeated links to the same article are against our MoS and look spammy  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:41, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * You have argued the case at AFD, which is the correct forum now. Quoting other pages won't help you, you will be judged on your text alone. I didn't start the AFD, so it's not for me to withdraw it, it will be closed by an uninvolved admin when/if a consensus is reached. If it is deleted after discussion, it's not the end of the world, you can try a new improved version  Jimfbleak  -  talk to me?  05:31, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
