Re: Kev F Sutherland, that's not bad for an autobio. I'll point you at the policy on such pages, WP:AUTO, but I don't think you've broken it yet. Steve block talk 20:35, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre
A template has been added to the article The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with db-author. Alvestrand 20:22, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Please stop - wordpress is NOT a reliable source
please stop adding wordpress content. It is not a reliable source. It is particularly inappropriate to use for controversial content such as you have been adding. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  21:47, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I understand, and shall search for better references to that article. Kevfsutherland

Potential conflict of interest / user name issue
either

Hello, Kevfsutherland. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Kevfsutherland", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because your user name is the name of a living individual and you are editing that article giving the impression that you are that individual. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  22:00, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I understand and shall consult the policy and procedures. Kevfsutherland

general editing hint - citations
As a general rule, if you are using the <:ref> <:/ref> format of citations, you should put the complete reference information in between the ref tags - and that is it. the wiki magic will then pull the full citation information into the reference list at the bottom, there is no need to duplicate the citation information again in the References section. You can get some more information here: WP:CITE.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  22:29, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
