Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Kuru ^talk 02:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article User:MarkD4700/PioneerServices, 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:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
4. 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. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:17, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

The company site

Actually, one of the things we always allow is a single external link to the subject's own website, no matter how biased that site's wording may be. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:36, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Pioneer Services

I have created the article for you. The best way to help improve it (since you've admitted a conflict of interest (which is not necessarily a bad thing, as long you're upfront about it)) is to make suggestions on the article's talk page. I have the page on my watchlist and am available to help if you'd like. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 20:09, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I have added the additional awards as requested on the article's talk page. One other thing - I noticed that you have your e-mail address on your user page. That's generally not a good idea as Wikipedia is a highly visible site on the internet and it will be a magnet for spam. – ukexpat (talk) 00:31, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! And I'll be removing that email addy post haste. Thanks again!! MarkD4700 (talk) 15:47, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
