Hello, Celestinosoddu. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Generative art, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- 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.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Hi,
Yes, I could be considered the founder of Generative Art in the current meaning of this term (the first definition of "Generative Art" is mine, and was established in 1998 for the 1sf Generative Art international conference, www.generativeart.com) but I, until now, had not the possibility to improve the article. But I have not a conflict of interest because, until now, all the article is made by Philip Galanter, following his own approach. I respect his point of view but I would like to add some concepts that I believe to be important. I didn't succeed in doing that because another contributor, Alex McLean (Yaxu) deletes everyday what don't fit his own point of view. I never deleted other contributions but I only tried to add some different definitions of Generative Art that are commonly used by the community, and I know them because, from 15 years, I organize, being the chair, the international conference "Generative Art". Now other contributors are trying to do that, and I will wait until the article will be more open to different visions.

This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:48, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
"Founder"? Ha ha. I guffaw! People have been making art with varyingly vaguely autonomous systems since forever. It's like written into the universe's code or something.
That aside, you got anything good? Here's me : http://fleen.org
