Hello Shipsoffice,

I've noticed your edits to OM related articles, and thought I'd better point out a few things to make sure you don't get in trouble :) One of the most important principles on Wikipedia is neutral point of view, therefore edits made that seem to remove critical information (or add 'advertising') are discouraged- especially when the editors have direct ties with the article subject. A good way of ensuring NPOV is by citing sources, and reporting what is known, rather than create original research.

Second, your username implies that several people might use this account, which is not allowed. I suggest that if multiple people have access to it they register their own username.

I know there is a lot to read on Wikipedia, and it can be confusing at first! Feel free to ask any further questions on my talk page. By the way I am a supporter of your work, and look forward to working with you on OM articles. Petros471 13:09, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
