Conflict of interest editing
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

I have noticed that all of your edits have centered around you adding links to your cooking blog. Please be aware that links to blogs are discouraged unless they are considered notable. If you are adding links to your own blog, please be aware that this can be seen as self promotion and is considered to be disruptive editing. Even though the external link does deal with the foods mention, it's seen as spamming Wikipedia with the purpose of promoting the cooking blog. Please be aware that even if you see other people doing it, that still doesn't mean that you should do it as well. Generally speaking, your blog would have to be recognized as a reliable authority on the subject, meaning that you would have to be quoted and mentioned in reliable sources per WP:RS. I don't mean to sound harsh, but I want to make sure that you're aware that this is something that is heavily frowned upon on Wikipedia and could lead to further repercussions.

Further conflict of interest
Hello Che-Cheh. 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 following the 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. I wanted to add this since I've noticed that you are indeed the owner of the Messy Witchen blog. I just want to make sure that you read this and get more familiar with conflict of interest editing rules.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:12, 19 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
