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:

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; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with 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 organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. DreamGuy (talk) 00:24, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Prismsplay (talk) 13:28, 14 June 2009 (UTC) Prismsplay is an historian who contributes accurate information about subjects of interest to other students of those subjects. Prismsplay does not edit anything on Wikipedia for personal benefit. The only organization that Prismsplay strives to benefit is the Human Race that we are all a part of.

Sherlock Holmes

Personal websites are not acceptable sources. Do not re-add this site, or others like it, again. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 01:40, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Prismsplay (talk) 13:58, 14 June 2009 (UTC) As an aging member of the Human Race, Prismsplay is well aware that people like to promote their own interests. Prismsplay's contributions, or attempted contributions, to Wikipedia's article on Sherlock Holmes have fallen into two categories:

1. correcting false information placed there by persons with personal agendas.

2. granting access to information concerning the publication dates of the original Sherlock Holmes stories. The reason that that information was not incorporated into the text of the article, which would be perfectly legitimate, since it is indisputable facts, is because it would require considerable time and effort to add a table that someone could in less than ten seconds remove. Prismsplay decided that the better approach was to link to his page with that information, a page, it should be acknowledged, that promotes nothing other than presenting a table of indisputable information.

The suppression of truthful information is a sin against the Human Race that we are all a part of. I was under the impression that Wikipedia is organized to make truthful information available and not to suppress it.

Please read WP:SPS. We cannot accept this link because we cannot verify the contents, per Wikipedia:Reliable sources. If you continue to re-add this link without discussion, you may face being blocked for edit warring, a form of disruptive editing. Please begin a discussion thread on the Sherlock Holmes talk page. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:13, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Josephine Earp may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• //www.angelfire.com/ks/landzastanza/ggk.html 1914 "Kaloma" valse hesitante by "Gire Goulineaux" (pseudonym of Johann C. Schmid (1970-1951)] sheet music and MIDI sequence
