[edit]If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The Barcud Derwen Group, 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:
- 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;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

- Hi Thanks for these. I've only started on this (and Wikipedia) yesterday - so still finding my way. I'm trying to get the bulk of the text in at the moment, I need to split off tech details that techie's will want (kit spec's etcetera) and I hope this will make it seem less like a promo - althoughh chunks have been lifted from websites/pr doc's etc
- I'm note convinced that I'v answered the right way - so if anyone sees these please get back to me — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwyn Doctor (talk • contribs) 12:58, 7 September 2008
- Well, you're not doing too badly so far! Just remember that Wikipedia has a strong policy of no copyright violations, and all content must be written from a neutral point of view. Basically, the Wikipedia principles can be condensed into five simple rules; follow these and you'll be fine.
- Another thing, while I'm here: remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tidles (
