Please stop vote stuffing

Please stop vote stuffing on the deletion page for "your" Mike Hamilton article. The use of multiple accounts as sock puppets is specifically against the rules; which state one user one account. Your original MikeHamilton user was temporarily banned for this, but is now unbanned so you have no need to create new accounts nor to vote multiple times. I would strongly encourage you to go back to your original account and to declare your obvious conflict of interesting on the deletion discussion page. Thanks. --Blowdart | ^talk 12:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

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.
