Hello Jerrypoteet. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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:


 * 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. Syrthiss (talk) 16:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I am not using Wikipedia to promote myself. Someone else created this "profile" originally a long time ago.  I am simply correcting the inaccurate entries about my trademarked name.  Despite your web site rules, you cannot
 * knowingly post libel/false information about me on your site publicly. The law trumps web site policies.  What method do you have for me correct and/or have parts removed that are false from other people editing?
 * I would rather work with you to keep the false and libel elements out of it. I understand that the true content should be written by someone else of neutrality reasons.  However, it cannot infringe on my legally-protected name
 * and brand. Thank you.

 * Mr Poteet. I don't know what you are reading, but we 100% support efforts to remove libel.  If you see libel introduced into articles, please feel free to revert it or contact an administrator such as myself about removing it.  if you don't feel comfortable about doing that, you can also contact the Wikimedia OTRS team at [mailto:info-en-q@wikimedia.org info-en-q@wikimedia.org] (probably best to follow the full instructions on Contact_us/Article_problem/Factual_error_(from_subject).
