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 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 you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. &hArr; &int;Æ S   dt  @ 22:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Hello TrulyBlue,

Thank you for showing me my faults. I have applied for a new username, as I would like to keep my contributions. I enjoy using Wikipedia and wished to contribute something myself, and mistakingly thought it would be a good idea to have a username that would coincide with my page. I apologize for my oversight of the rules, but I hope that this will be resolved and that my article is neutral enough in point to demonstrate my own neutrality on the topic.

Thank you, again.

Liz (Ppanties, hopefully soon to be OSUMammaJamma)


 * Good stuff, Liz. Welcome to Wikipedia.  It's a great place to share knowledge, and contributers like me are very keen on preserving its power.  While the rules can seem a bit overbearing, they are there for a reason, and help keep the project useful.  Happy editing! TrulyBlue (talk) 16:28, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
