Conflict of Interest
Thankyou for your contributions on the Mosman Rugby Club, and welcome to Wikipedia editing! You obviously are knowledgeable about the club, having written a historical book about it. Unfortunately, WP views citations on ones own work (even research collating other material) as a conflict of interest, being seen as a method by which people can promote themselves, their work, agendas or whatever it might be. You should refrain from using your own book to support the statements you make. Instead use the other sources that you have listed to support the statements you make. Take a read of WP:COI to familiarise yourself with this policy.

The content you have added appears from a cursory glance to add depth to the article, and I encourage you to keep going.

If you plan on sticking around, and editing for the long run, you may want to visit WP:RU.

Helpful also is the CIte template that you can read about here WP:CIT. It will be valuable as you add the citations for the various references you have obviously at hand. Being an insider at the club, you should probably familiarise yourself with Verifiability also. The sources you use need to meet a particular standard. If you have questions feel free to respond back at my talk page, or here.

Continual edits
Please do not add the section about your book back into the article. It is a WP:COI violation, and your edit will not be accepted by WP. You have the opportunity to contribute to the article, but not to promote your own book. You need to cease and desist. SauliH (talk) 01:13, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest
Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Mosman Rugby Club, 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, 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.--Korruski (talk) 14:00, 13 September 2010 (UTC)<
