Isaac Winslow House
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.


 * Hey, let's not overstate any problem here! I think it's great that Winslowdirector is stepping in to provide some information about this notable house.  Yes, please be aware  of potential conflict of interest issues.  But there was no article for this house before, and it is good to create it.  You just do have to understand that other editors may wish to rephrase anything that sounds more promotional than factual.  But i and other editors who have done a lot of articles on historic houses will be glad to help with this one.  Please feel free to contact me, for one, on my Talk page.  And i will "watch" the Isaac Winslow House article and try to help.  I'll make some other comments at Talk:Isaac Winslow House.  Mainly, thanks for contributing!  doncram (talk) 21:46, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge discussion for Historic 1699 Winslow House
An article that you have been involved in editing, Historic 1699 Winslow House, has been proposed to be merged into another article. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. • Gene93k (talk) 16:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, it seems apparent that there should just be one article not two, and to me it seems the one should be named "Isaac Winslow House" as that is the official NRHP program name for the house. As i mention at Talk:Isaac Winslow House, it is easy and appropriate to set up "redirects" from alternative names, all to go to the one article.  About the merger proposal, assuming that is agreeable to you, Winslowdirector, it would be helpful if you would go to that discussion and say that it is fine to have the two articles merged.  Again, thanks for contributing! doncram (talk) 21:50, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
