Hello, BetterWorld4. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. Please follow conflict of interest guidelines if you are Russell J. Adams or have a personal relationship to him. Joja  lozzo  21:20, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Self-published works are not considered reliable
Please do not use self-published sources on Wikipedia. They are not considered reliable. Joja lozzo  21:26, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

My apologies
I want to apologize for the difficulties you have encountered in contributing to Wikipedia. It's usually challenging for new editors to figure how Wikipedia works and I congratulate you for making the progress you have in such a short time. However, I think you encoutered one of the pitfalls that await editors who come here with a specific agenda rather than a general interest in helping write the world's biggest encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a good place to promote your own ideas, publications, organizations, or products and there are clear policies in place to prevent such uses. A good place to learn about these policies is WP:What Wikipedia is not. While keeping articles neutral is one of the three core editorial principles of the organization, everyone has their own valuable perspectives and we influence the project by the articles and topic areas we choose to work on. I think you have a lot to offer this project and I hope you will stay and help. Thank you for the improvements you have made (that didn't depend on Adams' book).

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please stop adding the Adams book - you've been told we should not be using such self-published books and you are clearly promoting this book. Dougweller (talk) 21:55, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
