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; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with 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. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:14, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Sign all your talkpage posts, please
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:58, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Watchers on the Wall edit summaries
You haven't been here that long, so you may not be aware how collaborative editing works. If another editor suggests that you use the talk page to discuss an edit, you respect the fact that they took the time to ask, and do that. You do not call them pedantic or puerile, as this tends to upset the elusive spirit of good faith in one another, and makes the other editor far less willing to consider your point of view (being more occupied with what an asshat you are making of yourself). You aren't going to win "battle" of edit summaries, and are far more likely to be reprimanded or blocked for repeatedly reverting back in your preferred changes. Use the talk page; its there for a reason. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 03:29, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Excuse me, but I HAVE been here that long, and I do not appreciate your condescending tone. The other person in question made a change based upon spurious reasons and I changed it back. You have simply decided to be difficult and obviously haven't gone back into the history to take a look, where you'll clearly see that the other person made a silly change and I reverted it. You're objecting to a repair, not an original edit. Damonskye (talk) 14:47, 18 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Perhaps you can tell me what was "condescending" in my tone, since I am not seeing it. I did not call you any name, or treat you like a child. You were the one who started tossing out insults and edit-warring. I don't consider the change made to be "silly"; it was I undid your removal of it. Lastly, it doesn't matter whether I am objecting to a so-called repair or an original edit. If I find it to be the wrong move, I am going to address it. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 03:27, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
