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;
 * 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 businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 15:31, 16 October 2008 (UTC) Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 15:31, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarification. I will collect reference links, and edit this page once more with citations. The wiki staff may decide I should'nt edit her page at all, as I have a close personal connection to her. But, I will let them decide that. I simply wanted the wiki page about my groovy friend to be complete. I'll get those links, and we'll see what happens. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dryad Jones (talk • contribs) 00:56, 17 October 2008
 * One point to clarify: the "wiki staff" (paid employees) are very few in number and generally limit their involvment to legal matters. Most questions of content: what should be included, who should be blocked from editing, etc. are decided by the people editing wikipedia (me, you and thousands of others). I would suggest that you familiarize yourself with the guidelines I mention above before you continue. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 12:50, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
