Hello Hugh Aguilar. 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 Slide rule, 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 following the 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. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 04:36, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your message said that posts about myself can't be overly flattering. My post wasn't flattering to my software; it just provided a one-sentence description of what my software does. The software does work, it has been working for nearly a year now, and it performs a straight-forward job. The software is open-source BSD license; it can be used by anybody who is manufacturing slide-rules.

My software generates CNC gcode or PostScript for slide-rules. That is relevant to slide-rules just as much as links to software that emulates slide-rules or links to websites describing people's collections of slide-rules, or links to websites providing instruction for slide-rule use --- all of which you do allow.

This was a general message and tried to cover all the bases. Sorry about that. However the warning which applies to you is:

• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please avoid linking to stuff which you have produced yourself. This is called conflict of interest WP:COI and is spammy, IMO. If you still don't believe me please go to the external links noticeboard and ask them for a second opinion by clicking WP:ELN. Thank you. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 20:34, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also please note: You added this link before on 12 August 2010 and it was reverted by an administrator on the 30th of August 2010. When multiple people revert your edits this means that the proposed edits have a problem. I hope this helps. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 20:44, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
