  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from FreeLife. Please be careful when editing pages and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

COI?

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 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 you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. --Ronz 23:41, 25 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Judging by your recent edit [1], you appear to have a clear conflict of interest. See also WP:3RR. --Ronz 23:41, 25 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest note

edit

By your user name, it appears that you represent a company or organization. Please read our conflict of interest guidelines. We welcome your contributions here, but please refrain from writing about your own company's services and personnel, as you did in Freelife. Thanks, and happy editing!

Sockpuppetry

edit

I have become aware that this account is most likely a sockpuppet of User:Jody Steele, who has also engaged in conflict-of-interest editing of the Freelife article, and so this user's userpage has been so tagged. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 04:02, 26 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
