Hello, Oltedal. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but 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 or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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. MrOllie (talk) 19:11, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello MrOllie,

Thank you for welcoming me. I can assure you that I am familiar with Wikipedia's policies about a neutral point of view and that I am in no way affiliated with some people, places or things I have written about. Thank you for your concern. I am just trying to provide more links to one article in order to make it better, more reliable and to prove its notability. With that, I also include links to their competitors, which are equally notable. It is not my intention to be either too flattering or too disparaging. Is there any other way I can help this article by giving links because there is a notification stating: “Please introduce links to this page from related articles; suggestions may be available.” Thank you in advance.
