Conflict of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article User:Liz Beres/KEIGWIN+COMPANY, 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; and
3. 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.

If other articles are inadequate, then tag them with the appropriate tags. The existence of other inadequate articles doesn't make your draft article any more acceptable; we call that the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument, and it is not accepted. I am pleased, though, to notice that you don't deny your conflict of interest. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:19, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Advertising is not acceptable

C'mon, Liz. "lives to create provocative, witty and engaging dances. Utilizing a collaborative process, K+C combines physicality with theatricality, samples a variety of mediums and, ultimately, fuses art with entertainment. KEIGWIN+COMPANY’s commitment to variety allows for cross-pollination of audiences and encourages harmony between uptown and downtown, professional and amateur, high-brow and low-brow, all while maintaining a vision of dance that is both artistically driven and entertaining."?!!? That's ad copy for a fundraiser, not an impartial and neutral encyclopedia article. None of the articles you provided links to had anything like that in them. (I did trim a couple of peacock terms out of one article, and asked for some solid cites for some of their claims.) --Orange Mike | Talk 19:30, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

The article still includes a lot of problematic language, including "combines physicality with theatricality, samples a variety of mediums and, ultimately, fuses art with entertainment to reach a cross-pollinated audience", "share its brand of contemporary dance with audiences across the country", and "ground-breaking dances". The draft article is also still completely without any reliable sources for a single statement contained in the entire article! If this company is notable, why have no dance or art publications or local newspapers written about them or their principals? (And if they have, where are the links to those articles?) --Orange Mike | Talk 16:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

How do titles and images work?

{{helpme}} Two questions: first, how do I alter the title of my page from User:Liz Beres/KEIGWIN+COMPANY to simply KEIGWIN+COMPANY? And second, how do I get the images I've downloaded authorized so that they actually appear on the page? I have all the copyright information at my hands so it's just a matter of figuring out how to relay that to Wikipedia, etc...thanks! --Liz Beres (talk) 14:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
