Conflicts of interest
Welcome to Wikipedia. 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. 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, 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --CliffC (talk) 00:55, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

DCIM redirect conflict
Hi, instead of removing a legitimate redirect to a long-standing instance of DCIM, a disambiguation page needs to be set up. That way a user entering "DCIM" can choose which page he wants. I'll take care of that for you later, since it's a bit complicated. I'll also rename the data-center article to "Data center infrastructure management", note absence of caps per WP:MOSCAPS.

July 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page DCIM has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. 4twenty42o (talk) 01:39, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Manual of Style, disambiguation pages
There is a Manual of Style here that provides guidance on many aspects of Wikipedia, including capitalization of article titles and the use of disambiguation pages for acronyms and initialisms such as DCIM that may have several meanings and several pages. I'm not suggesting that you need to absorb the MOS overnight, but one way to learn how Wikipedia works is to consider the messages left on your talk page by more experienced users, and also to read the edit summaries left in the history of articles you follow so that you can understand what's going on. Where you say in an earlier edit summary for an article move, "Search function won't return this page if abbreviation is entered; adding the abbreviation within the title may fix this problem", that is exactly the problem that disambiguation pages were designed to solve, no need to retitle an article to experiment. I'll be reverting your changes of this evening. --CliffC (talk) 01:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Cache?
Just a thought, where you say "Search not returning results", have you cleared your cache? --CliffC (talk) 01:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, the light is starting to dawn – where you say "search not returning results", you don't mean Wikipedia's search facility, you mean external search engines such as Google, is that correct? --CliffC (talk) 02:48, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
