[edit]

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article Texas Task Force 1 has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. Do not use false edit summaries to try to mask your inappropriate revert of the article to its formerly bad state. The deployment history list is neither useful nor beneficial to the article. It constitutes, at best, trivia in the way it was done. Further, your reverting of the article to its bad state restored bad formatting and other issues. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 16:03, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Texas Task Force 1, 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. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:42, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
