Spamlinks and COI[edit]

Hello, I'm Orangemike. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Lily Collins, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:11, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mlbrown211. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Lily Collins, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

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.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:11, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits[edit]

Please would you read Wikipedia's definition of a minor edit. I guess that you haven't seen it, as some of the edits which you have marked as minor don't meet that definition. - David Biddulph (talk) 02:51, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
