Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article War of the Independents, 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:

1. editing or creating 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; and
3. 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. Just a heads up please note that you appear to be the writer and penciler for this comic. -- RP459 ^Talk/_{Contributions} 23:21, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/War of the Independents (2nd nomination)

The deletion of this article was per the normal WP:AFD process, I nominated the article both times. Contrary to your suggestion here [[1]] I do not work in the comic book industry nor am I a competitor of yours. I am curious why you did not participate in the discussion at articles for deletion (during the 14 days which it was active) with your assertion that the book was released in 2006. I can find no source anywhere that backs up that assertion.

Please do not take this deletion personally, not everything belongs on Wikipedia and the lack of coverage by reliable sources of this topic means that it will not pass the notability requirements to have an article at Wikipedia. -- RP459 ^Talk/_{Contributions} 23:23, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
