How to Wikilink

Hi. Please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking for help on the correct way to add Wikilinks. See also Wikipedia:Citing sources for instructions on how to add inline citations to an article. If you have questions, please ask! --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:08, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

I have edited your changes to David Alexanian, removing and rewording a lot of content that made it read like a promotional biography - like something you might see on the dust jacket of a book. I think it would be a good idea if you read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask as I am only too happy to assist. --Biker Biker (talk) 20:38, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Joebrinkmann. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article David Alexanian, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:37, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
