Conflict of interest
editIf you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Georgian era, 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:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- 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.
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. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:14, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
New articles are a frustrating way to start
editIt may seem strange, but new articles are a frustrating and difficult way to start making a contribution to Wikipedia. It is far better to start out by making small or large changes to existing articles, especially where you already know the subject, or you are willing to do some reading and online searches to find good sources of information. So, I suggest that you hone your editing skills by making contributions to existing articles. What subjects do you know about, or what do you know about your locality, that can be used to contribute details to existing articles on Wikipedia? --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:49, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
