If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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 you must always:
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked indefinitely without further warning.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Thank you. Part Deux 16:10, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: The Children's Media Foundation

Hi Gregchilds, and thanks for contributing this page to Wikipedia. You'll notice in the page's history earlier, that I added a series of tags to the page, noting some specific issues with the work. You corrected the issue from at least one of those tags, but removed all of them without correcting all the issues mentioned. I have replaced the tags on that page, noting what still needs doing to the work, and would ask you to only remove a tag once you have dealt with the issue it raised. Thanks again, BarkingFish 00:20, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Children's Media Foundation

The article The Children's Media Foundation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable and the only links I could find are this, this and this. However, several of the sources I've found seem to promote the subject rather than providing notable coverage. Additionally, this article would need a complete rewrite to comply with Wikipedia guidelines as this article leans towards advertising

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The Children's Media Foundation

Unfortunately, I have tagged your article for proposed deletion because it appears notability hasn't been established. Additionally, the article seems to be advert-like, containing words such as "aim". The article also seems to focus with achievements rather than significant details such as history, reception, etc. If you wish to improve the article, I suggest visiting Wikipedia:Writing better articles.

Although people connected with the organisation may add accurate information, they may also add promotional material or only primary sources. Thus, it is encouraged for articles to have reliable third-party sources. There is another way to submit the article but the article wouldn't appear immediately, Wikipedia:Articles for creation. However, for your article to be accepted, you would have to provide reliable third-party sources. SwisterTwister talk 02:59, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
