MrPrada (talk) 05:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC) 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:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style
 * 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.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. -- Finngall  talk  18:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Please do not continue to remove the conflict of interest tag from the Bob Dettmer article, especially without a proper explanation in an edit summary or discussion on the article's talk page. Further removal of the tag will be considered to be vandalism and dealt with accordingly.  Thank you. -- Finngall   talk  18:50, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I have removed the tag. Your edits do not appear to make POV assertions, so there is no issue with a COI at this time. Feel free to add sourced material to the article after you've familiarized yourself with the guidelines. Also, I apologize on behalf of Wikipedia that you received a COI template prior to a welcome message! MrPrada (talk) 05:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
