Photomarathon
Please do not add material to articles that is not supported by reliable sources. Please actually read our guidelines of what constitute valid sourcing: WP:RS. Some very basic concepts are If you have questions, contact me. -- The Red Pen of Doom  12:01, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * that the source must be third party - i.e. not you and not the sponor of a photomarathon's web site claiming that they were the first to utilized the concept
 * that the source of the information must have a reputation for reliability and fact checking - i.e. not blogs or other self published sources.

Hey RedPen,
 * The info about the first photomarathon is documented at photomarathon.eu site, which doesn't belong to the former spanish nor the danish photomarathon, that i am a part of.
 * It is common knowledge, among several photomarathon groups (the german, the french in Nice, the british in Cardiff and Glascow and many more...), that the danish photomarathon is the oldest that still exists.

If you want it clarrified, please contact me at: jonas(at)fotomarathon.dk --Jonas200 (talk) 14:14, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * photomarathon.eu is NOT a site that meets our "reliable source" guidelines (linked yet again for your reading pleasure: WP:RS) nor is "It is common knowledge among..." acceptable for such claims. -- The Red Pen of Doom  18:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Potential Conflict of Interest
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 organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. -- The Red Pen of Doom  18:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Be Aware of "Edit Wars"
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. You may wish to revert your edit to show good faith. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. -- The Red Pen of Doom  18:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
