Potential conflict of interest
Welcome to Wikipedia. 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. 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, 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; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Active Banana    (bananaphone  16:57, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Mike Emmett
Hi Sylvia! We don't actually appreciate being told what we should publish. Wikipedia has a set of policies for inclusion, and when people don't follow those rules, Wikipedia tells them that  we don't want the article. However, to be fair, we have a discussion about it first and the Wikipedia community decides whether it  will be kept or not. The subject of an article could be a president of the  United States or a queen of England, but if it cannot  be 100% proven by  a reliable, independent source, it doesn't get  an article. I'm sure you won't mind me checking if you are using the same computer connection as other commentators on this Emmett issue. --Kudpung (talk) 14:30, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
