If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. MrOllie (talk) 15:45, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite sure whey you took the videos down: I certainly don't t have a conflict of interest as defined above. I have no interests (e.g., financial) in any of the items I posted for the videos: I don't sell tantalum or thermostats or anything. One might well argue they are not appropriate for wikipedia because of their style, which is the discussion I expect to have. I will see what responses appear here. These are videos produced at an academic institution (see iFoundry at the University of Illinois) for instruction. They are clearly irreverent ... but they are not commericial nor, do they promote or sell products. Hammack
