Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Adam Rapp with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 07:00, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Adam Rapp and conflict of interest
Hello, Ultragoliath. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Adam Rapp, 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. Jim1138 (talk) 07:14, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Paid editing
See wp:NOPAY regarding Wikipedia policy on paid editing. And read WP:COVERT regarding US and other law regarding covert advertisement. Jim1138 (talk) 07:16, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Ownership of Adam Rapp's page
This is not Adam Rapp's page, it belongs to the Wikipedia foundation. There is considerable Wikipedia policy regarding your editing of Adam Rapp. Please do not remove sourced content without a good reason. Removal of Adam Rapp's Early life section is a good example. If you wish changes to be made, I would strongly recommend the use of the wp:Edit requests. An Edit request allows one with a COI to make a specific request to have a page edited by a non-COI editor. Abuse of policy may result in a wp:block Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 07:22, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
