We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~.

Conflict of interest policy

Hello, Smangiapane. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people or things you have written about on Wikipedia, be careful. People close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may make them mistakenly add overly-flattering or overly-disparaging content. So please read our plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Here's a partial summary of its advice:

Be transparent about your conflict of interest.
Do not edit articles about yourself, your business, or your competitors.
Post suggestions and sources on the article's talk page, or create a draft in your user space.
Your role is to summarize, inform and reference — not to promote, whitewash, or sell.
If writing a draft, write without bias, as if you don't work for the company or personally know the subject.
Have us review your draft.
Work with us and we'll work with you.

Please read the whole guide. It explains how to perform the above seven steps, and provides more advice. See also our policies on conflict of interest, neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography, which everyone must follow.

Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:03, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
