Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Bookaddict07. 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 Carmine Miranda, 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. 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. Logical Cowboy (talk) 02:14, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi LogicalCowboy, in no way or form am I associated with the article I just edited. I am brand new to Wikipedia and I am trying to learn the ropes. I feel that my edit is unbiased rendition of what was previously edited by, I can only assume, you. I would ask that you reconsider reverting it back to my edit.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Carmine Miranda, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

There was a valid reason for it's removal. Take a look at any of the artists listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cellists#Living_classical_cellists Not a single article mentions anything negative associated with the musician. The fact that this is the only artist that you choose to single out, indicates bias. Which is against Wikipedia's policies. In my edit summary, I stated that your edit indicates a clear bias and because of that should be corrected. I would also like to address the fact that you think you have the right to tell me what a valid reason is or is not. Bias is a valid reason and against Wikipedia's policies.
