Hello, Dcifu. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article David Xavier Cifu, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 09:59, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, please read again the guidelines on editing wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, as the editing you have done to the article about yourself is inappropriate. Many of the supposed references you added do not mention the information in the article which means they are not relevant and not reliable as citations for the article. Details such as names of non-notable family members should also not be included. If you have problems with the article or suggestions about improving them, it is preferable that you suggest them on the talk page and then let other editors who do not have a conflict of interest decide and make changes. Thank you Melcous (talk) 00:29, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Once again, David, you are reminded that wikipedia strongly discourages people from writing about themselves. Please see the conflict of interest guidelines as well as this guideline on autobigraphies. Rather than editing the article directly, please propose any suggested changes on the talk page instead. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web site or social networking site. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 05:20, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
