Hello, Editor4Madsen. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but 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 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.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * 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.

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. Tgeairn (talk) 23:20, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

"Trademarked" image
Hello there. Just so you know, a person's image/face in general cannot be trademarked, and even if it could, it's still permitted to use it in a non-trade context. A photo can be copyrighted, but the image in question appears to have a Creative Commons licence and so it may be used on Wikipedia. ... disco spinster   talk  23:24, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Images of Michael Madsen
I note that you have made several attempts to remove images from the Michael Madsen article. If you have a question about those images, I recommend that you begin a discussion at the talk pages for File:Michael Madsen HS Yearbook.jpg and File:Michael Madsen2.jpg. Those pages contain additional information about where the image came from, where it is used, etc. Please review those pages and see if you are able to get the issue resolved. Thank you, Tgeairn (talk) 23:28, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
