Hello Jsanchezalmeida. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article K-means clustering, 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.

I'm not convinced we need to list every single use of k-means in the article, even if you need a citation of your work. Heck, it's even used in Data Mining in Agriculture. Thank you.

Since you are a new user, please don't be discouraged from editing. Just try to adher to WP:COI and try to improve the articles in generality, not just to promote your own research. Wikipedia becomes quite messy otherwise, when everybody just adds his latest research. --87.174.68.254 (talk) 07:22, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I am a newbie editing the wikipedia. For this reason I would be extremely thankful if you could clarify why you withdrew my additions to kmeans. I just want to understand the arguments, so that the same errors are not repeated in future editions.

Why do you think that there is a conflict of interest in my edition? From my point of view, I just added an application of kmeans to those already listed in the page. I am not promoting my own research. I just happen to be the person that introduced kmeans in astronomy. Do you identify the 'conflict of interest' just because my username coincides with the author of the cited paper? If so, would you have a noticed a conflict if using another username (say, darveider)?

> 'I'm not convinced we need to list every single use of k-means in the article' It all depends on the length of the list. A short list with illustrative applications would be extremely useful for those wanting to use kmeans for the first time. The present page do not provide any! Just a general statement of the fields where it has been applied.

Finally, why are you just an IP rather than a regular identifiable user? (Is there something wrong in my setup which do not allow me to see the username?)

Thanks in advance.
