Conflict of interest
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.

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.

Reversed move
Hi, I reverted your move of Joe Bowman since your proposed title doesn't comply with our naming conventions, as I commented at your request at Editor assistance/Requests. --AndrewHowse (talk) 19:09, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia policies, etc.
I can only point you to the links above for more information on Wikipedia policies and guidelines. There is a lot to take in! With specific reference to the photographs, just because you own the photographs does not mean that you own the copyright. The copyright of the photographs lies with the photographer and lasts until fifty years after the photographer's death. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:16, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Autobiography
I have removed the "autobiography" tag from Joe Bowman (marksman) as I agree that your contributions have not significantly altered the content of the article. I would caution you to avoid edits in that article other than those necessary to correct gross factual errors, in order to avoid a conflict of interest.
