Wikipedia conflict of interest policy

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article SOUTHASIA Magazine, 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:

1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. --MCB (talk) 22:49, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Name change, etc.

Thank you for your messages and for following through on the user name change, and happy editing. Please feel free to post on the SOUTHASIA Magazine article talk page and propose additions, additional reliable sources, and so forth. Don't worry, once the article is seen by other editors I'm sure it will grow and flourish. Best, MCB (talk) 19:00, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
