Thanks Dan
I see why a couple of times I couldn't make my edits go through makes sense that you were looking at it! Thanks for the advice, it is my first article so i am just getting my footing with.

And I still have to accurately go through the citations, so I'll be doing my best. Thanks and should be sticking around for at least a couple more hours.

Hello, Whiteben. 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 Shawn Achor, you should consider our guidance on Conflicts of interest and take a look at the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

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.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * 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. Safiel (talk) 01:08, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Amy Blankson
I apologize but Articles for Creation is very back-logged. I undid your recent edit in which you put a second "afc submission" template on the page. There was a risk that this could cause the submission to lose its place in line if I didn't remove it. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  03:57, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
