User talk:RobertBrokenshire

Hi and welcome,

I'm not sure if you're Robert Brokenshire himself, or a representative. But please be aware of Wikipedia guidelines of WP:Conflict of Interest and WP:Autobiography before editing the Robert Brokenshire page. In a nutshell, it is better to request/suggest changes on the "Talk" page (the discussion tab) rather than edit one's own entry (or the entry of a close associate/friend). That said, the edit you did today was strictly factual and not inappropriate. But on the whole, the practice is better avoided. (Disclosure of my own: I'm a Family First member, and so I generally apply this same policy myself on any FF-related articles). Peter Ballard (talk) 04:45, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

And for the official notice
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. Timeshift (talk) 04:55, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
