Possible conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, AJ de Faria. 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 may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:38, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Revert explained

[edit]

I have removed your edits from Fanny Imlay as the book you added there (and apparently are the author of) does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for inclusion. Please see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on notability (a quick Google search on the exact title of the book finds very few links to it, and no coverage in reliable sources) and self-promotion and spam. As noted above, it seems likely given your username and the name of the author of the book you added to the article, that you may have a conflict of interest and so should not be adding material on your own book to articles here, even if it were notable.
