Be incredibly cautious about writing about someone you know
If you are affiliated with 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  12:43, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Re: Thanks for the help & Info on MMA Trainer Page info/bio

 * Your message says in part, "start the bio for him, see what he thinks". Remember that the subject of an article is not a reliable source, and above all does not have a neutral point of view. If you are creating that article on behalf of the subject, it is a major violation of our rules, not least of all those about conflict of interest and advertising on Wikipedia. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  23:48, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
