Dear User:haroldjn, Thanks for your contributions to this article. In documenting the 2007 consecration which you added, Wikipedia likes to base its references on reliable sources: i.e., independent third-party publications. A personal web site doesn't fulfill this guideline, so until someone can provide a published reference to the event, the "citation needed" tag should remain in place. For more information on sources, please see WP:RS.

Also, since you've indicated that the information relates to you personally, I'll also refer you to the WP guideline on conflict of interest concerns: WP:COI, which apply when one wishes to edit information about oneself in an article.

Again, thanks and best wishes. --Chonak (talk) 17:46, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bishop Harold J Norwood could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Haroldjn) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

1. It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
2. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bishop Harold J Norwood. Thank you. WikiPuppies! (bark) 21:46, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
