Aloha and welcome to Wikipedia cousin!
Aloha cousin and Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately I have had to delete your good faith contribution at Kamehameha I. While I trust that you are indeed a 6x great granddaughter of Kamehamehanui, we cannot add that material without a strong, secondary, reliable source. I also note that your user name appears to be that of the author in question. If you are the author, you are strongly discouraged from editing about yourself. Also, there are no other descendants listed and that would be undue weight to mention you at the moment. The notability of mentioning either yourself or even other descendants needs context and some source to also show the genealogy. Even when this is done, how notable one is for mention is not based entirely on being related to someone famous. As editors we should never mention ourselves but stick to researching and writing about any distant relations as that is not a conflict of interest, but always be aware of any biases we might have as that is also discouraged when writing. As a second cousin to Kamehameha (10x removed) I understand your pride in wanting to talk story, but on Wikipedia we must stick to facts. Mahalo!--Mark Miller (talk) 04:12, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Princess.Ka-ana-ana, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Kamehameha I, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Peaceray (talk) 05:30, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
