Stafford Huyler

As you appear to be Stafford Huyler you should not have started Stafford Huyler and it is questionable about Netboy too. You need to read WP:COI and WP:AUTO, the biggest restriction is that while you can contribute to articles you are connected with there is no wiggle room about adding links to your own sites (this can lead to all sorts of problems).

Actually this might be more helpful as it lay it out officially:

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Stafford Huyler, 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, 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Emperor (talk) 17:30, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

i understand and if what ever need to be done, i accept. I request others to assist. if I have over stepped any action, lets do what needs to be done to be correct. i look forward to resolving issues by whatever means the wiki community deems necessary. i'm only wanting to act openly and in good faith. where do we go from here, apart from my removal of myself from the content? thanks for the quick response Emperor. :) Shuywiki (talk) 02:32, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
