Hello Gerry4001. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Gerry Alvarez, 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 following the 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:


 * 1) 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.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * 4) 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.  freshacconci  talk talk  02:58, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Gerry Alvarez, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. ''All of these templates still apply: there is still a conflict of interest as you are the subject of the article. There are still notability issues and another editor has suggested a merge with another article. It is not up to you to just end that discussion.''  freshacconci  talk talk  09:35, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Sorry, you can't just blank an article once it's been uploaded on Wikipedia. There was a clear warning on the page when you edited it: "If you do not want your writing to be edited and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." In other words, once it's out there, it's out there and you do not own it. I really wish people would read these things. After a week, if no one objects, the article can be merged into The Gruesomes article but you can't just simply blank it.  freshacconci  talk talk  13:49, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
