[edit]Hello, I'm JamesBWatson. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
Hello, Creativejuice. 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 Chesapeake Energ, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.
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.
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. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:53, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
JamesBWatson -- I appreciated your concern. I am aware of COI rules and my changes have been reviewed by the Wikipedia community and deemed acceptable. My intention is not to present a biased or scrubbed version of Chesapeake, which I have disclosed on the talk page that I am an employee of. My intention is to ensure information included on Chesapeake's page is correct and properly sourced. Before I began reviewing the page, there were all sorts of wrong information and many sources were based on speculation from an online news article, but not based in fact. If you have questions about an edit, please bring them to my attention. Thank you. Creativejuice (talk) 14:21, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
