Dear Empirekate, hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope to not seem unfriendly, but I'd like to bring to your attention the conflict of interest guideline which explains the potential incompatibility between the purpose of Wikipedia to produce a neutral, verifiable encyclopedia, and the purposes of an individual editor. Conflict of interest editing often involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote yourself, your friends or family, or the interests of other individuals, companies, or groups you are closely associated with. When an editor disregards the aims of Wikipedia to advance outside interests, they stand in a conflict. Please review this guideline, and you may wish to also review the notability guidelines as well. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia, and I hope you'll find many helpful areas! Sincerely, Ariel  ♥  Gold  13:42, 27 October 2007 (UTC) I noticed you created the above article, and your name being similar, I thought I'd welcome you, and let you know about the policies and guidelines regarding the above mentioned conflict of interest. Also you may wish to review the autobiography guideline as well as the biography notability requirements. If you're not the subject of the article, but are in some way associated with the subject, the guidelines should still be heeded, and editing done with care, or you may prefer to use the article's talk page to ensure that a neutral editor is involved, to avoid any possible issues. Cheers, Ariel  ♥  Gold  13:42, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
