Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Ah... thanks. Rather new. Have been harassed by an editor who instantly deleted all entries immediately after entering them and politely asked them to stop and they continued. After reporting them, they have taken to harassing me now and am still a little flustered but trying my best to follow along as fast as I can. Thank you for the tip. I greatly appreciate it. Going to give it a try right now.Phpulse (talk) 05:35, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
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;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching 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 businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  02:42, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Business' FAQ and Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text  or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  02:42, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

About enforcement
Regarding your screed on the deletion thread for the PHPulse article: Say you and everyone else on the highway is driving 80 when the speed limit is 55, and you're the guy the police officer decides to pull over. Suppose you object, "You have no business ticketing me when you let all those other people keep speeding." How well do you think that argument will go over?

Have you considered the number of articles other than yours that do get delete all the time? Also consider that it's not as though one small group of people scans every single article that comes in. Different people scan them at different times with different perspectives, so, as someone pointed out to you, it isn't all black and white. But it's a system, and it's a reasonable one, with the purpose being to keep Wikipedia what it's meant to be, and not all the things listed in the article at WP:NOT. &#8212;Largo Plazo (talk) 02:45, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
