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 following the 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. SwisterTwister  talk  20:56, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Conflict of interest guidelines
Please confirm you have read the conflict of interest guidelines for Wikipedia which you have received notice of above. It appears, based upon both your editor account name and your editing patterns, that you may have a conflict of interest with the Lawrence H. Fisher article, and I would urge you to review the guidelines to avoid problematic edits and deletion discussion actions. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:26, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I have read your conflict of interest guidelines. I do not view any of my edits of deletion discussion actions to violate the guidelines.--Lawrence H. Fisher (talk) 16:54, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you missed this on the page you claim to have read: "It is not recommended that you write an article about yourself. If you are notable, someone else will notice you and write the article." MikeWazowski (talk) 17:08, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Additionally deleting other editor's comments and !votes on a deletion discussion of an article created by you, which you appear to have a conflict of interest in, as you did here is a violation of Wikipedia guidelines regarding conflict of interest.  Please refrain from such actions, as continual conflicted editing will result in a block of your editing privs.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 17:11, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Lawrence H. Fisher, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing Wikipedia. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:06, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Autobiography
Please do not write an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged - see our guideline   Writing  autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you  have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according  to our policy for articles about  living  people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see Why  was my  page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. —  Jeff G. ツ  17:13, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
