Hey
Hello Danskel. Not sure if you're a friend of Nick Skelton but in any case, I'd like to help with your edits to his article if you'd be so kind. We have a point-of-view policy which normally precludes those who know subjects well from editing without at least declaring some kind of "interest" in the article. Naturally all I'm interested in is a decent, neutral, accurate article, and by the looks of your edits, you can definitely help with that, but I need you to let me know what your interest is (if, indeed, that's the case, if you're a totally uninvolved editor, then forgive me, and good luck, but my offer of help still stands!). All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 20:44, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Normally, we put tables in chronological order, so you might want to reverse the order of the recent info you added. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed, even if you're Nick's brother, I'm still keen to help you out where I can. Let me know if I can be of assistance.  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:22, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

As I said before, please make sure tables are in chronological order. Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:14, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * And please stop marking your edits as minor when they clearly are not. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:16, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. Please either start discussing things with me or expect me to prevent you from editing your brother's page.  You have a clear conflict of interest and I've warned you a few times about your editing style.  Please (and I mean it) get in touch so we can discuss the way forward, or else you will find it impossible to edit your brother's article.  The Rambling Man (talk) 20:44, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Please note that you should read WP:SPA before continuing your edits. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:54, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey back
Hello, not a problem. I just wanted you to be aware of WP:COI, people who are closely related to someone with a Wikipedia article are generally discouraged from making edits that may be misconstrued as being a conflict of interest. So far, I can't see that being a major problem with your edits, but with your user name, it wouldn't surprise me if someone else picks up on it! If there's anything specific I can help you with, just ask. The one thing I would ask is if you can try to reference the items you add to your father's and any other page, that way any possible perception of adding a point-of-view should be precluded.
