Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Avid Technical Resources, 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:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
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. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 13:26, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AVID Technical Resources

Hi Btomasel, I have noticed that you have posted on the Wikipedia Help desk about making changes to Avid Technical Resources which you advise you are closely associated. Can I suggest before you edit further on this article you read Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest which provides guidance on how you should restrict your editing where you have a close association with the topic of the article. Whilst I am sure your intentions are aimed at correcting errors in / improving the article you need to take an armslength approach to this by posting on the Talk Page making clear you are associated with the topic / company and drawing attention to other editors where improvments may be required rather than continuing to make edits directly yourself. You can do this by placing the following tag on the talk page {{Request edit}}. Hope this of helps Tmol42 (talk) 23:33, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I nowiki'd the request above until the originating editor is ready to place it themselves. If I erred, feel free to correct. --Lexein (talk) 03:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
