About 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 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 businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Katr67 (talk) 19:11, 25 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've blocked you from editing due to your lack of response on this issue. Wikipedia has a policy against people using the real names of famous people without verification. If you are really RickeyGoodling, our apologies, but we do this to attempt to prevent people from impersonating you; contact me via Special:Emailuser/Mangojuice to confirm who you are and we can resolve this. If you aren't, please choose a different username and post {{unblock-un}} on this page, if you want to continue editing under a different username. You may also post {{unblock}} to dispute the basis for this block. Mangojuicetalk 17:05, 17 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
