FYI conflict of interest guideline
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia in YourTravelBiz.com, Ytb, YTB, or other articles, 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 organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. (See also: Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.) Thank you. — Athaenara ✉  01:04, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Please note: If you continue editing as you have, in disregard of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines as noted above, you will incur the risk of being blocked from editing (see blocking policy). — Athaenara ✉  01:11, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Warning
Hello Copstead. I see that you have resumed editing YourTravelBiz.com and related articles without joining in any discussions. It is likely that you will be indefinitely blocked from editing Wikipedia if you are unwilling to engage. You have not replied to the complaint at WP:COIN.

 * I am just trying to put correct information regarding YTB. The information that is located on yourtravelbiz page is created by people who want to attack YTB, and competitors.  I just don't understand why you don't want correct information up there?  Can you please explain? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Copstead (talk • contribs) 21:53, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * As noted on Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 31, edits like this one will probably get you blocked again. — Athaenara ✉  23:01, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello again. If you want to propose changes, I suggest you limit yourself to Talk:YourTravelBiz.com, since you are a COI-affected editor. If you want to propose new material, explain on the Talk page why it is desirable. Several of us are watching that page and you should be able to get a response. If your argument is convincing, regular editors will change the article as needed. EdJohnston (talk) 20:24, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
