User talk:Gerard Weinandy

Hello, Gerard Weinandy. 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 need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

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. 76.248.149.47 (talk) 19:35, 20 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Please don't continue to add a lengthy resume to a Wikipedia article. This isn't the place to publish a CV; as well, it may be a copyright violation to do so. 76.248.149.47 (talk) 19:35, 20 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. I guessing from your user name that you are likely related to Father Weinandy. You probably have some useful stuff to share, but as pointed out above, you have conflict of interest and should not be editing the actual article. What you can do is suggest edits and even add proposed text (as long as it's not copyrighted material from somewhere else) on the "talk page" for that article at Talk:Thomas Weinandy


 * As for the deletion of resume material, that was more about a matter of style than anything else.
