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 or creating 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,
4. avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Becky Sayles (talk) 14:13, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

US Lacrosse

I see that you have done alot of work to US Lacrosse, unfortunately their are a number of problems with these edits: 1) there also some obvious cut & paste copyright violations from the US Lacrosse website, & 2) your edits are reading like an advertisement for US Lacrosse (mostly because of the above mentioned copyright violations)

Also, specifically regarding this edit [[1]] please read: Help:Reverting and Help:Edit summary

I am going to revert your edits based on the items stated above. If you have any comments or questions, please discuss on Talk:US Lacrosse or directly to me on my talk page. Thanks, Mitico (talk) 14:16, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

History of Lacrosse

Besides the other issues raised above, the section US Lacrosse#History of Lacross duplicates History of Lacrosse. Don't you think the main History of Lacrosse page is a better place for this information? Comments. Mitico (talk) 15:04, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Images

I see you are having troubles uploading images: Image:USA Womens Team.jpg & Image:USA Men's Team logo.jpg Here is what I do: 1) save to my desktop 2) then upload. You will also need a fair use summary for the logo, which could be copied from an image like: Image:2008NCAALax.PNG or if you are having problems let me know & I can help with this process.

Fair use rationale for Image:USA Men's Team logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:USA Men's Team logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 14:22, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
