Possible conflict of interest?

Hi, from your first edit you may have an interest in the website link you have added. Please be aware of the conflict of interest policy for such contributions. Cheers, Ash (talk) 07:51, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ash! Thanks for the reply.

I'm pretty sure I am in compliance. I read through the policy again now and according to the "Non-controversial edits" section the following two items are allowed:

a) Fixing spelling and grammar errors.

The citation already existed, haijinx was simply mis-capitalized. That seems unquestionably allowable.

b) Adding citations, especially when another editor has requested them.

As I mentioned, the citation of haijinx already existed and I changed no text in it other than the captiatlization. The link for the citation however was not present most likely because the "haijinx" archive were offline for several years. As another editor already created the citation, I don't see how adding the valid link is a COI.

That said, the same section on "non-controversial edits" includes:

If another editor objects for any reason, then it's a controversial edit. Such edits should be discussed on the article's talk page.

Should I place a comment on the talk page about why I made the change?
