Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.  Acroterion   (talk)   19:33, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Sharkhuntersintl. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.  Acroterion   (talk)   19:33, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring at Conspiracy theories about Adolf Hitler's death
Your repeatedly inserting and re-inserting material promoting what appears to be your own book (see [ here], [ here], and [ here]) strongly suggests that you are engaged in an edit war — a practice forbidden by Wikipedia policy. Even if you are convinced that this material belongs in the article and that the three separate editors (so far) who have insisted on removing it are all wrong, it is not acceptable to push your views via edit-warring. If you do this again — either using your current account (Sharkhuntersintl) or any other account — you will most likely be blocked from editing in order to preserve the integrity of Wikipedia.

Additionally, your edits so far suggest that your account name (Sharkhuntersintl) is the name of a company (Sharkhunters International). Account names implying shared and/or promotional use are not permitted by the Wikipedia username policy. Accordingly, I will be blocking your account indefinitely. If you wish to continue editing Wikipedia (and are willing to abide by our policies, including the policy forbidding edit-warring), you will need to choose a new name for your account. The block notice which will follow shortly will include instructions for doing this. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:28, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:31, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
