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. -- Herby talk thyme 14:15, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the mail - conventionally we communicate on wiki so that it is available for all to see.
 * You are welcome to make any substantive changes to the article that you want (although being a wiki others may well may further changes!). The issue is with the placement of external links which, looking at your username & the website concerned, you may have an involvement in.  If you do then you are not permitted to place links to it I'm afraid.  Thanks -- Herby  talk thyme 15:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
