Why don't you simply add links to both universities? Anyway, if you plan to add relevant links, don't do it on top of others, add your links at the bottom...

August 2008

If you have a close connection to 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;
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.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Ckatz^chat _spy 21:49, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Media Power Inc.

A tag has been placed on Media Power Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Fugu Alienking (talk) 14:51, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mediapowerinclogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mediapowerinclogo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:23, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Peter, I think you are going to have to step back from the Media Power article, given your apparent conflict of interest (seeing as how you work for the company.) As well, please do not add "featured article" tags to articles that have not achieved that status. --Ckatz^chat _spy 17:31, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ckatz, With all do respect I would like to continue to make this article possible. I would also like to point out that I am an unpaid intern and therefore am not an employee of Media Power. Also. Before you simply undo my edit please take note what you are changing. I spent alot of time Wikifying and adding references to this article in order to further legitimize it. I would appreciate it next time if you wouldn't remove those kind of positive additions. (PeterQuain (talk) 21:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Paid or not, you are still involved with the organization in question, and as such a conflict exists. Think of it this way: as an intern, how likely are you to add text hat is critical of Media Power? If one of the universities involved in the research declares it is not a viable technology, would you be able to add that to the article? Would you feel that it might jeopardize your internship to do so? For that matter, might you be caught up in the excitement that surrounds new ventures, and as such unwillingly disregard negative press?The conflict of interest guideline doesn't just apply when a contributor is purposefully trying to skew an organization's article; it also helps to guide those who are acting in good faith, but may not realize their inherent conflict.

As for the text you added today, it was reverted in part because of the fact you rewrote some of the material in a manner not suitable for an encyclopedic treatment of the company. I have gone through and rewritten it accordingly. Listen, no-one wants to discourage you from contributing to the encyclopedia. However, it may be appropriate to seek other editors - who are not connected to the company - to review the article and assist in assessing it. --Ckatz^chat _spy 22:18, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Media Power

Peter, once again, please remember that you cannot use Wikipedia to promote technology developed by the company you are involved with. This is contrary to the conflict of interest and anti-spam guidelines. --Ckatz^chat _spy 16:52, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Media Power, Geo-reality Links, Voice reality links, and Augmented reality links

Hi Peter,

I'm sorry if I'm being redundant but WP:COI states very clearly that with a few limited exceptions for removing blatant vandalism or fixing obvious typographical errors, anyone with a connection to an organization, entity or product should not write or edit articles concerning that organization, entity, or product. Its better to make a request at articles for creation, this way, an uninvolved Wikipedian can research and write a neutral version.

Speedy deletion of Media Power

A tag has been placed on Media Power, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

re: Media Power repost

Peter,

Media Power was deleted solely because notability wasn't established (articles usually aren't deleted solely for conflict of interest, we try to improve and make them neutral before deleting them.) Article notability is proved through multiple, secondary, non-trivial sources. You cited three sources, of which one was a press release (as a primary source, these can sometimes be used to verify facts but not to establish notability), another was the company's website (also a primary source), and the third was a short mention in a magazine article, coverage in an article needs to be substantial in order to qualify as a reliable source.

The Wikipedia community has guidelines about what constitutes notability for a subject and what does not. Topics such as ARL, VRL, and GRL need to be covered about in other established media or peer reviewed journals to establish notability. Additionally, I'm not an administrator so I didn't actually delete Media Power (OrangeMike was the sysop who deleted the article), I only started a discussion regarding whether it met our guidelines. The deletion of the article could be overturned through the deletion review process.

Peace, Thom

Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 15:17, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Remember, Wikipedia is a reference work, not a news source. If a given topic is new, and there are no reliable sources providing substantive discussion of the topic, then it is not yet notable, and efforts to create Wikipedia articles about it before it becomes notable will be futile. In addition, you cannot simply dismiss our concerns about your conflict of interest. A person in a situation like yours is inherently handicapped in maintaining the requisite neutral point of view towards affairs with which he/she is concerned. Thus, we expect that articles should be created and edited primarily or exclusively by those without such built-in biases. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:33, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
