Welcome![edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! hmssolent\^{You rang?} _{ship's log} 02:38, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest[edit]

Your user name suggests you are the same person as the subject of the Lane Sutton article. I hope you will take a look at Wikipedia's advice about conflicts of interest. Wikipedia discourages people from writing about themselves, because of the difficulties in remaining neutral and avoiding promotion. I've added back the "Conflict of interest" template which you removed. By removing the template you have demonstrated there is a currently problem. Maybe there will be a point in the future where the template can be removed, once you've shown you can edit in an unbiased and neutral manner. Kind regards.

It's best to keep the conversation here on your Talk page where others will expect to see it. Speaking personally, if I thought there were any major issues with your article I wouldn't have moved it to main article space. Others will disagree with my view, I'm sure (one already has). To keep other editors sweet you definitely need to keep your edits on the article to a minimum (preferably none at all). If there are major changes you think are appropriate, the best avenue would be to request them by leaving a message on the article's Talk page.

If you are indeed Lane Sutton you have hardly hidden the fact, so I would see your username as an open and honest declaration of your conflict of interest. Conflict of interest is a very hot topic on Wikipedia at the moment, I'm sure you know, so it pays to be very careful. Sionk (talk) 01:24, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
