Hello, Jazrogers. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Jarrad Rogers, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

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 ensuring their edits are verified by 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:


 * 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.
 * 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.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * 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. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:08, 31 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello. Would you please take a moment here on your talk page to acknowledge whether you are Jarrad Rogers?  If you are, please also acknowledge that you have read and are familiar with the conflict of interest policy.  It's important for you to do this so that any potential conflict is out in the open and other editors are aware.  In order to maintain an objective encyclopedia, this is critical.  Thanks.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:54, 31 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Please take a moment to respond to these COI concerns. If you continue to edit the Jarrad Rogers without discussing these concerns I will assume that your motives are not good and you may be blocked from editing. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 20:00, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I am Jarrad Rogers. I have noticed changes have been made to the page concerning me. I took the time today to add references and other missing factual information. I am planning on adding further references and in no way intend to 'promote' or embellish the truth. I just want to make sure when people read about what I have done that it is all true and up to date. I have also read the COI policy and am familiar with it's terms. I have to the best of my knowledge stayed within the constraints of this policy. If I have in any way please let me know and I will make the necessary edits. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jazrogers (talk • contribs)


 * Editing an article about yourself is generally a bad idea and rarely turns out well. As long as you make uncontroversial edits and everything is reliably sourced, you may be OK.  If any editors challenge any content that you add, you must discuss the edits on the article's talk page. Also be sure to read WP:LUC.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 21:01, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Mufka. I totally appreciate your concerns which is why I've kept my edits to a minimum and totally factual. Other than references that I feel are necessary to support relevant facts, I plan to rarely edit this page. Again, thanks for the advice. Will this remove the 'issues' notice at the top of the page??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jazrogers (talk • contribs)
 * I don't see anything blatant, so I'll remove it. I've also tagged the article talk page - that's permanent.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 21:42, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
