Hello, I'm GiantSnowman. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Antonio Carbognani, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Conflict of interest
Hello, MemphisAmericans. 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 Memphis Americans, 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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

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. GiantSnowman 14:44, 14 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for explaining the situation - to avoid further confusion you might wish to change your name at WP:RENAME (perhaps or similar?) though this is not required. I would also please ask that you cease mass-adding the 'Memphis Americans' website to articles as that could be seen as spam/promotional. You might get further info/help about being a new user from WP:TEAHOUSE. GiantSnowman 15:38, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
