unsigned message

I am sorry that someone views my edit as a possible "conflict of interest." For 15 years, I have been the sole Managing Director of the Howard Behrens enterprise. Countless collectors have asked me to please set up a Wikipedia page for Behrens, particularly since he has been recognized as one of America's "most collected artists" and an icon among living American artists. I did not set up the page, but I added much information - and being aware that anything I added could be viewed as a conflict of interest - I was careful to source and reference every comment to those who actually made them. None of the remarks in my edits were composed by me personally. I will be adding many other quotes and references from various publications, but will always ensure that each is sourced properly. Thanks.HB editor (talk) 13:16, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I put up the Conflict of Interest tag, which would seem to be quite justified given your comments above.

On the other hand, and as per WP:GOODFAITH, I don't have a problem with this article as long as it at least makes an attempt to comply with WP:COI, WP:NPOV, and WP:MOS.

Happy editing!
