Conflict of interest
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; 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.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:18, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If you allege that there is incorrect information in an article where you have a conflict of interest, post that information (with reliable sources, of course) on the talk page of the article in question. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:12, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Your message on my talk page
Thanks for the message on my talk page. You didn't sign it but I tracked you down. It's not a question of right and wrong, it's a question of verifiability and neutrality. When a user edits or creates an article where they have a COI with the subject, it is very hard (but not impossible) for them to maintain a neutral point of view - that's why such edits are strongly discouraged and such editors are requested to discuss their proposed edits on the article's talk page first. You are not going to get consensus for any edit (except for typos or formatting and similar) that are not verifiable by reference to reliable souces and materials produced by the subject or those closely connected to it are not reliable for Wikipedia purposes. In addition, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising (see WP:SPAM) and that's another reason why edits by conflicted editors are very closely scrutinised. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 15:14, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
