Your edits to Person of the Year
Your username suggests you work for time magazine:

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.

Still, hope to see you around! --Dirk Beetstra T C 17:50, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Links
As mentioned previously, your user name suggests you work for Time. Adding links to the "External links" section that point to time.com-related websites looks like a conflict of interest, and may also be considered link spam. Please stop these kinds of edits, and I hope you will stick around to contribute! If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 19:07, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
