Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. 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 Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. --Hu12 (talk) 13:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Copied from my talk page

In my opinion - which certainly may be incorrect - the manner in which links to this site were added to several articles at once, seemed to violate WP:SPAM#LINK. It appeared that the repeated addition of links to this site was done so in order to promote this website in general. While HealthAngle looks like it may be a good resource in the future when it has more information; at this point in time, it looks pretty sparse and could use more people going there first. By posting links to the site at Wikipedia, ironically HealthAngle may garner the traffic it needs to turn it into a valuable resource. But there's the Catch-22 of it all. Further, I did a quick search around the web and I feel that you may be the founder of this website, which would mean that your adding of this link would also violate WP:COI which states: Conflict of interest often presents itself in the form of self-promotion, including... other material that appears to promote the private or commercial interests of the editor... By all means, I may be wrong about all of this, so feel free to take this issue to WikiProject Spam and the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard where you can ask the editors what they think. And please let me know if I can be of any further assistance on this matter. -- Levine2112 ^discuss 17:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
