Conflict of interest
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:
 * 1) editing or creating 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,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Somno (talk) 08:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Jeld-Wen
Hi, I understand that you identify yourself as a marketing representative for Jeld-Wen. Please familiarise yourself with the Wikipedia policies linked to above. I particularly recommend the explanation of Wikipedia's five pillars. I reverted your change to the Jeld-Wen article for a few reasons, which I'll explain below: Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please ask. Somno (talk) 08:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Your change to the lead (article introduction) removed referenced text and replaced it with marketing text that was unreferenced, promotional, and not written from a neutral point of view.
 * Your removal of the information about the sponsorship of Stone Brothers Racing removed referenced information. If Jeld-Wen no longer sponsors this team, then simply change it to past tense and add, for example, "The sponsorship agreement ended in January 2009" with a reference. We don't delete sourced information simply because a sponsorship has ended.


 * Hi. Please take the time to read and understand how this encyclopedia works. It is an encyclopedia, not a marketing opportunity; edits must meet the verifiability and neutral point of view policies. Reverting edits without discussion is not how things work - this is a collaborative venture. Please discuss changes on the talk pages and with other editors, and together we can improve the article in line with Wikipedia's policies and goals. Somno (talk) 03:49, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
