September 2008

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Online Gamers Anonymous, 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 from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
avoid breaching 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. -- Scarpy (talk) 21:32, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

`{{helpme}}` I am trying to add a picture of my son and it is not working.

I did everything it said to do.  Where is the picture?

Is this the pic? http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Image:Shawn7a.jpg If it is, then you got it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 01:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Hi Lizwool. If the image is of Shawn, it's uploaded; sometimes it takes a little while for images to propagate through the servers. My concern is that you have a stark conflict of interest when it comes to articles involving your son. I understand--we all understand--how you feel about his tragic death. But Wikipedia isn't here to promote any point of view at all; our articles must be neutral, verifiable, and must rely on reliable sources for facts and statements to be included. Again, I don't wish to diminish your feelings in any way whatsoever. For a mother to lose a child is an awful and horrible thing, and I recognise that you are trying to both keep his memory alive and to help ensure that no mother ever has to go through what you have. But it might be best, and I mean this with all respect, for you to take a step back and allow neutral minds to contribute to those articles. This is nothing against you; in fact I would be horrified if any mother could remain completely neutral after such an event. It is to your immense credit that your edits are as neutral as they are. I hope you understand where I'm coming from, and that I mean no disrespect to you or to your son's memory. I would be happy to help you with anything you need on Wikipedia, just leave a message here or on my talk page. [ roux ] [x] 01:40, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Thank you for your comments. I am trying to stay as neutral as possible. Just want to keep the facts straight. Thank you for your help with the picture. Liz

{{helpme}} I am attempting to load my son's picture to his article. I cannot figure out how to do it. I already loaded it to wikipedia. Now I cannot find it.

I have added the pic above to the article. Place any more help messages on this page, not your user page. Thanks 211.30.109.24 (talk) 01:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Liz. I understand you want to keep the facts straight... in the future, though, could you add references when you add information to articles? Here's how. For future reference, to add an image to an article, just follow the directions here. [ roux ] [x] 01:49, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How can I lock a page, so changes cannot be made to it?

Hi, you can request protection at WP:RPP. Usually, articles in the mainspace are protected only if it is subjected to problematic editing uncontrollable by WP:Blocks, such as vandalism from number of IPs. -Unpopular Opinion (talk · contribs) 13:39, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ARTICLE (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

indefinite full protection. Has been here since 2002. All of a sudden people started changing it. I don't know who. No longer needs to be edited or changed. 98.211.54.129 (talk) 15:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC) lizwool[reply]

I hope I did this right.

Lizwool (talk) 12:07, 5 June 2009 (UTC) Liz Woolley[reply]

You didn't do it correctly -- it would need to be on the WP:RPP page, and you would need to replace "ARTICLE" with "Shawn Woolley". However, as an admin, I can state confidently that the request would be denied, as there is no vandalism taking place on the article at the moment, and nobody here owns articles and can declare that they don't need to be changed.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite Full Protection

I have asked for indefinite full protection for this article, and have heard nothing back.

I checked the article again today, and it has been completely vandalized again.

It has been disputed by someone I have never heard of, who knows nothing of the situation and what really happened.

Can I please get help with this?

How do I get the DISPUTE off of the front page?
