Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Pseudomonas(talk) 10:20, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
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:
- 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;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
- 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. Pseudomonas(talk) 10:25, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Please do not violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, as you did with this edit to Blue Monday (date). Thank you. Chasingsol(talk) 11:20, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did to Blue Monday (date), you will be blocked from editing. Chasingsol(talk) 11:23, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Blue Monday (date). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Chasingsol(talk) 11:34, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Greetings! I see you've run into some difficulties regarding your edits to this article. I've looked objectively back over your edits. The problem with them is twofold: While they may indeed be factual, you need to provide an independent third-party source to support them. Something such that someone who knows absolutely nothing about the topic can check the citation to confirm the accuracy of it. Essentially, you may be 100% familiar with the topic, but anything you add to the article must have been verified by someone else, unrelated to the topic.
This brings up the second issue with the section in question: Conflict of Interest. Your username suggests (and only suggests mind you) an affiliation with the company mentioned in the section you added. This could be seen as promotional for that company, and thus is not really permitted in the article. See the link I put in above for more information on how to edit when you do have a relationship with the topic.
