User talk:RobertKeeley
Hi,
I noticed your edits to Robert Keeley (instrument maker) and a few other articles where you added links to that article. If you are Robert Keeley, as your user name would indicate, then these types of edits about yourself are discouraged on Wikipedia (see WP:AB and WP:COI).
I also would like to point out another project I'm a part of called GearWiki, which is a wiki about musical equipment of all kinds. You're welcome to edit things related to your own company there as long as it's not blatant advertisement or similar. The Robert Keeley Electronics article can be found here. Let me know if you have questions or need any help. (My username is the same there.)

Hello, RobertKeeley. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Keeley Electronics, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.
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. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
