Hello Wunderkind1. 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 Backcountry.com, 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. Hghyux (talk to me)(talk to others) 22:11, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Backcountry.com Page

Hi - you marked my updates to the Backcountry.com page as vandalism. All changes were made to reflect accurate changes in management, sites, etc. Irrelevant details were removed. Let me know why you marked my edits as bad since I'm new to editing. Wunderkind1 (talk) 22:05, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I offer this olive branch

Thank you for pointing out to me, the error of my ways. and please accept my apology. I am sorry. Regarding your revisions to Backcountry.com, please refer to the section above. It is a good job that you watch your edits – unlike many editors here on Wikipedia – and were able to let me know straight away that you were confused.

Mistakes like this one can all too easily occur whilst editing and looking after Wikipedia. However, as long as they are met with good temper and a sense of humour, there is no lasting harm, in my opinion.

If I can be of further help to you, please tell me. You are now on My watchlist, so I will be aware of your reply here on this page.

With kind regards,
