Conflict of interest
Hello, Kubrick2899. 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 have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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.
 * Given the very limited coverage of the book, I'm going to guess that you are the author himself. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia is not the best place to post about your book. You probably meant well, but the book would have to pass WP:NBOOK, meaning that the book has received coverage such as book reviews, news articles, and the like in reliable sources. When it comes down to it, most books- especially self-published ones- usually don't get any coverage. When they do, it tends to be along the lines of blog coverage, which almost never counts towards notability here on Wikipedia. Now what I would suggest is that despite all of this, that you look into trying to get various blogs to report about your book and try to sign up with various sites that have author programs, such as Goodreads and LibraryThing. It'd all result in blog coverage, but the thing about blog coverage is that sometimes an author will get very lucky and gain coverage in reliable sources. Even if they don't, that blog coverage will get you more sales and reads, which is in the end more important than having an article on Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:03, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
