Hello Intern4AG. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Adam Leitman Bailey, 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.  Teapot  george Talk  19:14, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Additional editors and conflict of interest
Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy applies whether one editor is doing all of the editing or multiple editors are sharing in the edits. It's rather clear that User:Internalb, User:Intern4AG, User:Midget99 and a number of other usernames are all editing the same set of articles in the same manner, with an undue overemphasis on promoting Adam Leitman Bailey. Rather than making matters better, you appear to be deliberately attempting to circumvent Wikipedia policy by abusing multiple accounts and acting in concert with each other (if there is truly more than one person involved), rather than trying to address the concerns that have been raised. The fact that these other usernames have also been removing tags to mark that the articles you have been editing have potential conflict of interest issues and appear to be advertising its subject, only further aggravates the problem. In such circumstances, it would be rather justified to delete the Bailey article and to undo the edits to the other associated articles, as well as to block the usernames involved. You can help solve this problem by dealing with the conflict of interest issue or you may likely end up with all of your work deleted. Please contact me on my talk page or via email if you have any questions about dealing with these policy violation concerns. Alansohn (talk) 06:30, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
