Conflict of interest
Hello. As you may well be aware by now, The Observer has identified you as Grant Shapps. If this is the case, you must read and understand Wikipedia policy before proceeding with any further editing of the article about yourself.

Relevant information:
 * Avoiding conflicts of interest
 * If Wikipedia already has an article about you
 * Problems in an article about you

In a nutshell, you should not edit an article about yourself, and should use its talk page - in this case, Talk:Grant Shapps - to raise any issues or suggest any changes.

I doubt that you will continue editing the article after the media attention you are now receiving, but I must warn you that if you do so, and create a conflict of interest situation, administrative sanctions may result. — Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   12:08, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

A further Guardian article has now identified additional user names associated with these edits, bringing the list to:



This potentially brings the issue into the realm of sock puppetry, or the improper use of multiple accounts, a much more serious violation of Wikipedia policy. Investigations will now be undertaken.

I am copying these warnings to each involved user name. — Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   08:06, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
