I am writing an article on Systematic Layout Planning and was wondering if you could contribute to it. Jjpo0903 19:41, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to 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;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching 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 businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Themfromspace (talk) 17:12, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

How transparently hosting a page without any ads for my company and giving my competitors a free listing for their free resources is a conflict of interest is beyond me. Are we getting a bit extreme here? I'd say so.

I've watched the Lean Manufacturing Article for years and saw a constant influx of LinkSpam and ads that were edited in and out continually. Do your research and you'll see that this free hosted page (out of the goodness of my heart with no Google "link-juice" to be gained) greatly diminished the need for editors to keep the external links at bay.

If the many contributors here want this link to go away please say so...if you want it to stay please say so. We can have this discussion again.

 * Hi Bill, I'm copying this discussion over to Talk:Lean manufacturing so we can continue it there. Thanks  Nelson50 T  14:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I think the inclusion of the link has placed Jbillh in a bad position in light of WP:SPAM and WP:COI. Let me be clear that I don't see Jbillh doing anything wrong intentionally.  It's just the creation of the link and the need to maintain it have put him in this position.  Yes, the problems aren't very bad, because of how well he has managed the situation.  However, I hate to think of what would happen if others followed this example. --Ronz (talk) 17:00, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
