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; 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. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 23:25, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

HMNZS Taranaki (F148)
If the photo does not show the entire ship, it is not an acceptable infobox image. It can still be in the article, but not in the infobox. -MBK004 23:20, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I have warned you. If you do not stop and either discuss this or place the image elsewhere from the infobox, you will be blocked for disruption. -MBK004 23:28, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

All these warnings
Hi, I'm a New Zealand-based Wikipedia editor. I see you have run into a bit of trouble with your edits. This might be because you don't fully understand the system. I suggest you try to explain your edits a bit more when people question them. You have an interest in HMNZS Taranaki (F148), but you have never posted to Talk:HMNZS Taranaki (F148). Please, try to discuss any edits which others might object to. I appreciate that it's not always easy to conduct a discussion over a text-based channel such as a Wikipedia talk page, but it is necessary on a collaborative work. Feel free to ask me for help on any matter at my talk page, or include a message here and I'll see it.- gadfium 04:45, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Grand Hotel 1978.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Grand Hotel 1978.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:38, 21 January 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Lәo(βǃʘʘɱ) 01:38, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
