Hello Alexscottthompson. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. —Paul A (talk) 02:37, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Thayne

Okay, here's what I'll do. I'll put it back in your userspace. You improve it - "plus, Thayne's career as a professional tennis player, a documentary film producer, chief of staff to the minority state senate leader, and campaign manager is notable", you said? Prove it.

If you've got it better by the end of the week, I'll put it back in mainspace. Sound good? DS (talk) 12:00, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Okay, good. Here you go: User:Alexscottthompson/Thayne. DS (talk) 16:03, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh, well done! I've put it back in mainspace. DS (talk) 21:32, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

RB Scott picture

Hi, Alexscottthompson. Is there any chance you have a copy-right free image of Mr Scott? I'd like to see a picture there if possible, but we need to abide by free use procedure at the minimum. Best, Kafka Liz (talk) 00:57, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

What if I have a personal picture of him that i took with my own camera? Would that count?

Yes, that would work. There should be a drop box where you can say that it's your own work, and that you are releasing it into the public domain, or that, if you want to retain copyright, you give permission for Wikipedia to use it. This page has some more information on uploading, though it's a bit complicated to follow. Please let me know if I can be of any additional help; I'll try my best to answer any questions you have. Thanks, Kafka Liz (talk) 09:46, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
