I've deleted your article about Brigadier Ferguson, because it was copied directly from the Daily Telegraph obituary, which is a breach of copyright. You can use sources for reference, but not for out-and-out copying like that. The links above may help you write a better article next time - good luck!

Conflict of interest[edit]

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Gordon Ferguson (British Army), 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:

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.
