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 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; 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. 98.248.33.198 (talk) 07:28, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Self promotion

In the article Frostbiten you have made an edit for which you give the following edit summary: I just want my name here, since i made the site and some of the marketing for the movie (i have my name on the site). However, this is an excellent example of what Wikipedia is not: a medium for self-promotion. There are various relevant policies and guidelines, but I suggest you may like to look here. Also relevant is the guideline on conflict of interest, which is mentioned above. It is much better if you do not edit any article on any subject in which you have a personal involvement. Also please do not add content anywhere in Wikipedia which is intended for self-promotion or any other kind of promotion. JamesBWatson (talk) 07:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent contradictions in your edit summaries

I notice that in this edit you add the text "marketing = Anders Printz" to an article, with the edit summary "I marketed the movie and should be credited, my name is on the site : http://frostbiten.se as : Site by", and then in this edit you add the text "Website by Anders Printz" to the same article, with the edit summary "I just want my name here, since i made the site and some of the marketing for the movie (i have my name on the site)". Both of these appear to be unambiguously stating that you are Anders Printz.

After those edits (07:28, 22 September 2009 (UTC)) you received the above advice on conflict of interest. Shortly after that (starting at 07:54, 22 September 2009 (UTC)) you made several edits to the article Anders Printz, giving as edit summary "He is one of my teachers. I would like to add him becouse i searched for him." It is difficult to understand this: how can you be one of your own teachers? Unfortunately one possible explanation which occurs is that you are indeed Anders Printz, and, having seen the advice on conflict of interest, you decided to try to hide the fact. If this is not the correct interpretation then please explain here what the situation is. It is worth pointing out that writing an article about one of your teachers is likely anyway to be seen as a conflict of interest: the guideline on conflict of interest describes conflict of interest editing as "contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups" (my emphasis).

The conflict of interest also says "Editors with COIs are strongly encouraged to declare their interests, both on their user pages and on the talk page of any article they edit, particularly if those edits may be contested." You may therefore like to state here exactly what the situation is. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:22, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Anders Printz

A tag has been placed on Anders Printz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
