Thanks
Hi Christopher Kraus, Thank you for your advice on the neutrality of the Government Office for Science entry. I have removed some of the phrases that could be construed as opinion rather than fact and which could lead to a conflict of interest. I would be very grateful if you could have another look and for any further advuce that you could offer to ensure that the article complies with Wikipedia guidelines.

 * Hi, My main reason for the COI tag is because from your username it sounded like you were an employee or something. If you are, It would probably be against Wikipedia's COI rules to be a major contributor to your own article.--Christopher Kraus (talk) 21:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've checked out the COI rules and I don't think that I am going against them. In light of what I read I have made a few more changes. I would really appreciate it if you could have another look over and either advise me on areas that concern you or take down the flags. Thanks Government office for Science (talk) 13:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Help with Government Office for Science Article + User
I recently reviewed Government Office for Science as part of the new page patrol, and tagged it as conflict of interest because I suspected that the user was an employee of the government department. He was wondering why I tagged the article, and I asked him if he is an employee of the department, because if he was, that would be COI. He did not answer this question, but he says that there is nothing wrong with him editing it. I am not sure how to reply to him now. Thanks.--Christopher Kraus (talk) 21:11, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm. COI isn't always bad, but if you have concerns, you could probably get a better answer at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 21:36, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * actually, he does need to choose another username, and I will so advise him. To see our actual policies on the matter, check WP:COI and our Business FAQ (which also applies to non-profit & government organisations). We do not reject articles or contributors for VOI. We just advise against it, and check carefully their editing for objectivity. DGG (talk) 22:19, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Russian Characters in Usernames
helpme On the English Wikipedia here, are usernames allowed to be in all Russian characters? e.g. User talk:Назаров Иван --Christopher Kraus (talk) 21:47, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This is indeed perfectly acceptable, per USERNAME. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 21:53, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
