A friendly note
Hello Peter and welcome to Wikipedia.
I hope you are enjoying your editing on here, and I would recommend that you familiarise yourself with the guidlines and policies on creating and editing articles.
To that end I notice that you have been involved in editing articles either about you or in which you have a vested interest. It would be very wise of you to read the guideline on autobiographies (if you haven't already) to avoid other editors questioning your actions. A point to note is that creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. One of WP's key policies is that articles are editing from a neutral point-of-view; writing about yourself or organisations of which you are a key member puts yourself at risk of breaching this policy.
This is simply meant as a friendly note; other than missing a few sources the article about yourself is mostly within the guidelines, but I just wanted to bring your attention to those guidelines to help your future editing.
Happy editing,

Conflict of Interest Warning
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Motley_Moose, 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:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
