User talk:Michael hewitt-gleeson

Username
Just to let you know that if you're Michael Hewitt-Gleeson (rather than a fan using his name), you should email info-en@wikimedia.org to confirm that you aren't an impersonator. You should also familiarise yourself with Wikipedia conflict of interest policy before editing any more articles directly related to you.

If you're just a fan, then you should make this very clear on your user page, although you should be aware that it may still be seen as inappropriate, and may result in your account being blocked. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. --McGeddon (talk) 22:43, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest policy
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; 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. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. --Ronz (talk) 02:03, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Biographies of living persons policy
Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons. --Ronz (talk) 19:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest noticeboard
I don't think you should be editing the article about yourself as you are doing, per WP:COI. If you provided secondary, reliable sources, it would probably be acceptable. The Conflict of interest noticeboard is the forum for addressing such disputes. If you want to start a discussion there before I get a chance to do so, that would be helpful. --Ronz (talk) 04:00, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

You are now adding your own books to the reading list in lateral thinking. While I'm sure they're relevant, it's inappropriate for the author himself to be adding this kind of material. Please read WP:COI before making any further edits to Wikipedia. Continued self-promotion may result in a block. --McGeddon (talk) 08:43, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
