Conflict of interest issues[edit]
If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Gringocarioca, 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:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with 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 organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 22:24, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
removing edits youve made[edit]
It is not possible to remove things you've said from the edit history of a page, unless you contact an oversighter, but the chances of anyone who's looking for you ever finding those edits is very slim. They won't show up in any search, for example. For this reason, I suspect the oversighters would say the deletion is unnecessary in this case. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 23:19, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
