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 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 you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. Rjd0060 (talk) 04:31, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Your COI edits
If this is indeed Dr. Stoessinger, please understand that the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. Everything in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable third-party source with a reputation for fact-checking. Please see WP:V for more on Wikipedia's Verifiability policy. Also, as was stated above, editing articles about yourself is not encouraged. Thank you. — Ocat ecir T 04:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
