NPOV dispute [- Background]

Sean,

There are no reference pages for my teachers and it makes you look a lot more important that me. I am assuming that this wasn’t your intention, thus I’D LIKE YOU TO REMOVE THE LINKS TO OUR PROFESSORS. Also, I AM DISPUTING THE FACT THAT YOU STUDIED WITH GEOFFREY HENDRICKS. If you did, you certainly never told me.

NPOV dispute [- Bait/Death and Taxes, Inc]

I have to wholeheartedly disagree on point you raised while describing Bait, in particular the part where you talk about the “historic period of irrational exuberance”. Similarly, in Death and Taxes, you comment about us and “continuing to justify our unprofitable artwork to the IRS”.

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. freshacconcispeaktome 10:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Sean Fletcher and Isabel Reichert
The only way you will be able to contribute to wikipedia is by playing it straight down the line, following all the policies. If there is any personal project attendant on this, then it will have to happen by default, because any overt appearance of it will be stopped as an abuse of editing privileges. The fact that you appear to be editing separately from each other is a point in your favour, as it is an indication that you are attempting to evaluate the proper interpretation of sources, rather than a collusion merely for self-promotion. However, there is an appearance of contrived argument, rather than a genuine need for it.

Wikipedia articles are derived from published secondary sources per WP:V which must be reliable ones (WP:RS). Then they should be referenced (see guide above) and used in a neutral way (WP:NPOV) without personal knowledge, views or interpretation: this is WP:OR - original research - and forbidden.

I suggest you study the policies carefully and use references accurately. You might like to edit some other articles to get the hang of things. You should make sure that you do so as two separate individuals (which seems to be your aim anyway), but not making a point of this and using wiki as a stage.

You might like to release some images under the GFDL licence. See User_talk:VAwebteam. In this case, it would be advisable to register as the official representative by contacting the Foundation. See here. You will then get an OTRS number to validate your status. This is not mandatory, but it does prevent anyone challenging your right to upload the images. These must of course be ones that you own the copyright to.

You will find that arts editors are helpful, provided that you show you want to work within wiki protocols. Misuse will mean restrictions on editing.

 * Work on the article. References need to be formatted properly. Some external links should be used as a source of material and then employed as references, not in the EL section. Check out some featured articles for models (NB you will notice there is some variation on systems employed for referencing). Suggestion for your project: become model wikipedia editors!
