Hello, Hylo64. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 Wikipedia: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. Theroadislong (talk) 22:51, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Hylo64.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I managed to see your post on the Teahouse, and I just had some comments about your page.

The contents section is auto-created, it need not be added manually.
While adding links, try to place alternate text instead of bare URLs. (See WP:Links or WP:External Links)
Try adding some inline citations to the text instead of adding links at the bottom. (WP:References might help)
Also, it might be useful to read WP:COI before creating any pages that might be close to you. An article on your son might lead to a conflict of interest. That is why creating such articles is not promoted on Wikipedia.

Anyway, if you have anymore questions, feel free to contact any of the admins or use the Teahouse.

Cheerio! Keep contributing to the largest open-source encyclopedia! Rajanala Samyak (talk) 03:45, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
