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 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 you must always:
- 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.

Marvin Meyer
editThanks for trying to add references to Marvin Meyer. Please see my edit where I reverted your first attempt at adding refs; you need to add them as citations in support of specific statements. If you don't know how, pick a statement in the text and a ref that supports it and ask here for me to show you show. I'll be happy to assist. Dicklyon 22:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Adoption
editHello, Hyperion357! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the one you can talk to - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia!

Chapman Law' Entry
editHi Hyperion 357, I have no idea who you are, but I want to thank you for your attempt to revise the entry for Chapman Law. Since yesterday, I have made some improvements to the school's entry, and in the process I have tried to avoid any edit-wars by inserting all the necessary references.
Again, thank you for your contributions. And if you have heard anything regarding Chapman Law's copyrighted materials, please let me know because I want to insert the school's logo in the info box. And yea, a couple pictures would be nice, too. :) Arctura 09:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- For youre information, when you leave me messages on my talk pagee, I respond there.
- There are 2 aparent reasons for removal of your contributions at Marvin Meyer:
- Copyright violations - please don't copy material from other websites. This is a copyright violation. If there is good information on some other website - please express iot in your own words.
- Improperly sourced statements - to source a statement, please use a <ref> tag before and a </ref> tag after the source information. This should be right after the information you are giving a source for. This will cause the source to appear in a footnote, which will be placed in a place on the page marked with a {{reflist}} tag - which is already on that page.
