"My page"

A recent edit of yours referred to a particular article as "my page." I just wanted to remind you that nobody owns an article in Wikipedia. Every edit you make here comes with the admonishment, "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it." Given your username, I'd like to also remind you of our rather stringent standards about conflicts of interest. If you have any kind of connection to the International Museum of Women, this is particularly important to follow, since you've already had so much to do with that article. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
