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.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked without further warning.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Wikipedia is not a place for genealogy. There are plenty of places with free/inexpensive web hosting if you want to write about (what appears to be) your family.

If you insist on creating these autobiographical sorts of articles, remember that once out there, anyone may edit them, which can often lead to unexpected consequences. You won't own the articles once they are out there.

If you want to discuss this further, feel free to follow-up here; I'll watch this page. MKoltnow 18:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Copyright
I notice also that the Arthur Lett-Haines article is a verbatim copy of the National Portrait Gallery biography. I'm expanding it to mend the problem, but remember for future articles that Wikipedia material must not breach copyright. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 23:56, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Addendum: the same goes for Upchurch Pottery, which is apparently a copyright violation from here, and Martin Brothers, where your initial text (now developed by others) is very similar to that here. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 00:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of David Kentish


The article David Kentish has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Makes no claims of notability, other than hanging around with famous artists. Notability doesn't rub off other people. Article has been unsourced for almost 6 years.

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
