Exercise caution in articles you have a conflict of interest with
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 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;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching 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 businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. —C.Fred (talk) 05:12, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * The warning above was left because your username implies that you may be connected to Micheli's promotional or campaign offices. That is why the warning was left here, and the tag was placed on the Ron Micheli article. In the case of the article, it advises other editors to be conscious of the potential conflict of interest when evaluating references and whether items within the article are covered from all sides. —C.Fred (talk) 05:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I am obviously new to wikipedia and I forgot to sign my last entry. Run4ron (talk) 05:48, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * the references are third party references that have been verified and we feel are reliable. From comment left by Run4ron on user talk:C.Fred
 * Who is the "we" you refer to? I haven't pulled the Wyoming statutes to see how they hold up as sources. I have done some cursory checks. The only source that hasn't held up was the blog comment about his gubernatorial bid. —C.Fred (talk) 05:48, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, my brother and I are working on this, That is why i said WERun4ron (talk) 05:50, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

We have checked the Wyoming Statutes. They should hold up as credible references Run4ron (talk) 05:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

What do I need to do to get the Conflict of Interest tag off of my article?
 * The sarcastic side of me wants to say "stop editing it". Seriously though, just read the warning above, and make sure you're following the steps. I don't know when the tag can be removed. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 20:15, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I am trying to get the COI tag removed from my article. When I posted this last time, the response was for some other user name.Mcbridetm4 (talk) 00:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
