If you are affiliated with 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; 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you.  Acroterion  (talk)  01:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Solar Kilns
I have moved the following comments from Talk:Solar Kilns to your talk page, since that page will probably soon be deleted under WP:CSD (a talk page dependent on a deleted page). Singularity42 (talk) 14:43, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

A submission I created was deleted. I am the owner/author of the Solar Kilns website content. I am the webmaster for Solar Kilns. I don't understand why my submission was removed. What was wrong with the submission? How can I prove that I'm the owner of the Solar Kilns website content?

The other submission I created wasn't removed - Fantasy Worldwide Festival. I fail to see the difference between my submissions.

Copyright should not be an issue when I own the content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.228.72.166 (talk • contribs) 6:20, 19 October 2009 (Assumed to be  while logged off, based on comments.)


 * Unfortunately, there is no way for us to know you actually do own the copyright given the nature of Wikipedia accounts (i.e. anyone can create one, and anyone can claim they own a certain copyright). There's also the issue of licenses - basically, if you do own the copyright and donate the material to Wikipedia, you have to license that anyone can use the copyrighted material under the same license. If you still want to donate your copyrighted material to Wikipedia, read WP:DCM, which explains how to go about it.


 * I should point out, though, that you may still need to make sure the company is notable to merit its own article. Check out WP:COMPANY which has a useful guideline for determining notability of companies.


 * Finally, I did look at Fantasy Worldwide Film Festival, but I don't see any obvious copyright violations there, so its not the same situation as Solar Kilns. Singularity42 (talk) 14:43, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Fantasy Worldwide Film Festival


The article Fantasy Worldwide Film Festival has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not notable. Furthermore, this festival appears to be no longer active; they're website no longer exists. I can find few sources that even mention this festival.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Justin W Smith talk/stalk 03:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
