Recent edits to Flag of the Earth

Hello, and thank you for your recent contributions. While the content of your edits may be true, I have removed it because its depth or nature of detail are not consistent with our objectives as an encyclopedia. I recognize that your edit was made in good faith and hope you will familiarize yourself with what Wikipedia is not so we may collaborate in the future. Thank you!

Why didn't you just edit my article? You "democratically" just deleted it! If you believed truly in my good faith, you would have led me to make it better and not just savagely erase it like that. You personally have a page where you advertise yourself, your job and your accomplishments, so why did you delete me? Can you please restore my post with your edits which respect the wikipedia policy? I understand I put parts which were flattering my artwork, but do you see the meaning and the value, today, of even the idea of a "Flag of the united states of humankind"? Are you human-kind? You were not very kind with me. I would like to learn how to contribute to wikipedia and I believe there is a way to integrate my post, which I am sure you know of, which respects wikipedia and everyone in here. Please look at the artwork, look at my artistic mission and see that I am doing something good for you as well. It's our planet. I don't need advertisement, I got enough already. I wished this artwork to be seen for what it is, a representation of a wish of unity and brotherhood. If you guys censor artists then what are artists supposed to do if not to collaborate in bettering our world? Should we paint luxury cars or celebrities toe nails? Believe in the good faith as you said you do. Thank you

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Matteosica. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Flag of the Earth, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
• instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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 for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. DexDor ^(talk) 22:08, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi dear community, and thank you for the fresh welcome. I would like to have your kind guidance with publishing the reference to this artwork because I do feel it has a clear relevance with the topic of a Flag of the Earth, and I do believe that conflict of interest does not apply when an artistic creation can have a worldwide positive element of constructive contribution. I do believe that this artwork was created for humankind as a little, tiny drop, tiny tiny drop in a huge ocean of effort to make people feel the importance of union, and working together and not against or in spite of each other. I do feel that we can find an agreement and with your experienced support I am confident that you will believe and actually see the relevance of the topic, the lack of conflict of interest because there's no external link or reference but the picture itself which is obviously needed there for the text to make any sense at all. Please, see, artists work for the others, just like programmers do, just like carpenters do, and what they do is mainly messages. Sometimes messages are blocked, smothered, manipulated, but sometimes especially when someone believes in them they come through and they can spread. The positive message of this artwork can have, and will have, despite your attempts to make me see a different version of this story, a positive and genuine welcome. Please see that there are not so very many artworks representing something as vital and important as a Flag of the Humankind (have you actually even stopped to think for a second about the message we are discussing here? We aren't advertising confetti here! Nor are we advertising anything at all! This artwork is not even available for sale, by the way.) Artists are creators of messages, and artists with pure intentions, good hearted are getting their messages through, and the online community has a strong responsibility and power in it. I don't see anything bad about publishing this post, which is a thing of beauty (many people would agree on the beauty of the artwork itself, but that is not as relevant as the fact that through a combination of colors is possible to deliver a sense of harmony and unity. Sometimes words are not enough, you can read, cite and quote and write millions of books and no message will be sent across because people are not listening. But many people are sensitive, many people give people a chance, many people believe in good intentions, and can see beyond blind rules, and beyond their own suspicious attitude, which ultimately limits them and only them. He is free who leaves other free. Peace, and thanks for your friendly welcome, and your attempt to help me. I am listening for your further guidance, Regards Matteosica (talk) 22:34, 24 February 2016 (UTC)Matteo SicaMatteosica (talk) 22:34, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
