Duplicate pages
Please don't create duplicate pages. If there is more than one logical title for your article, create the article under the most appropriate title, and then user redirect pages for the other titles. For example, at Blessing the children, I have replace the duplicate content with #REDIRECT Blessing the Children International. In this way, when a user enters the incorrect title in the search box, they will be brought to the correct article. Creating multiple articles with duplicate content makes it difficult for editors to know which article to edit. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
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. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:49, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Blessing the Children International


The article Blessing the Children International has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable organization. Only references are primary sources (the organization's own website) or press releases made by the organization.

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.

New references
Several of the references you have added to Blessing the Children International have helped assert the notability of your organization. However, several problems still exist with the article:


 * 1) You are the organization's founder, and therefore a significant conflict of interest exists.  It is recommended that you do not further edit this article, except to correct any gross factual errors which may be added later by others.
 * 2) Several of the references are to the organization's own website, and as primary sources, cannot be considered RS:reliable.
 * 3) Several of the references are to press releases issued by the organization, and are similarly not reliable.

I am going to edit the article to remove the unreliable references, leaving the reliable references behind. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:44, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest and removal of unreliable resources
I have read the conflict of interest guidelines and now clearly see the problem. I will refrain from any further edits to the Blessing the Children international article. I appreciate WikiDan61  removing unreliable references from the article and his explaining the conflict of interest. --KStrawn (talk) 17:54, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
