Welcome to Wikipedia. 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, 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 03:35, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hplotkin, have a look at WP:CITE on how to cite, and at WP:Citation templates for the fancy way. I have installed something called "reftools" (see Wikipedia:RefToolbar) which helps me do that quickly and easily. I can't help you install or troubleshoot since I only teach English, not geek language. Also, for adding references, browse for this person's name in Google News--that's how I found the one Palo Alto Online article. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 03:47, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- BTW, I left you a note at that Noticeboard. Drmies (talk) 03:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
