Wine shop edit

Hi, what is your current affiliation with the wine store? Badagnani (talk) 17:01, 19 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

The shop opened on Dec.16th, 1994 and closed on June 30th, 2004. I had a 12-year lease but left early to return to the music world full time. (Carlylewines (talk) 17:07, 19 March 2009 (UTC))Reply

OK, from your user name I thought you still worked there part time or something like that. Badagnani (talk) 17:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

No, just a little nostalgic. It's a nice way to remember a fascinating experience and a truly beautiful place (total credit to the designer). Today, my 2 employees from the very beginning ; one is like a brother to me and the other is like my son. (Carlylewines (talk) 17:16, 19 March 2009 (UTC))Reply
Hi I noticed you placed a lot of personal information on one of the notice boards. While I know that similar information is part of almost every form you fill out, you might be better off not posting it online (or there really will be 2 of you soon). --Eudemis (talk) 23:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the warning. I didn't think of that as I was trying to instill truth in my article including the pronounciation of my own name and other matters. But you're right, and I also thank you for the suggested source for my former store. (Carlylewines (talk) 02:38, 24 April 2009 (UTC))Reply

Conflict of interest policy edit

  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 organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Ronz (talk) 17:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
