To put that another way: it is pointless to upload pictures and give them the db-noncom tag. Eg. Image:DougBlane.comWCC2006ani1.gif. And before you upload it again properly, I suggest you seek approval from 32X. -- RHaworth 08:25, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Potential conflict of interest / user name issues
If you are the Doug Blane whose photographs are being referenced in the sources that you recently added.

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (DougBlane) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it you are using the name of a living individual and citing references related to that individual. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Active Banana    (bananaphone  19:07, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
