Hello, FPJ1962. 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 Family Process, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

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 ensuring their edits are verified by 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. Please stop making promotional edits to this article. Thanks. Randykitty (talk) 13:46, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have continnued editing this article, apparently not impeded by any knowledge about how to construct an encyclopedic article. One of the pillars of WP is that edits have to be based on independent reliable sources. For the huge section that you added, you provide but one (non-independent) source, but many of the things that you describe in the section that you added, cannot be found in the source. Please provide sources for the edits that you made or otherwise remove that section completely. The section is not written in a neutral way either and a lot of it is unnecessary (and unencyclopedic) details. WP is not for promoting your journal. For some tips on how to write a good article on an academic journal, seeour journal writing guide. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 17:55, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "FPJ1962", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Alexf^(talk) 12:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your attention needed at WP:CHU

Hello. A bureaucrat or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. Thank you. Tyrol5 [Talk] 18:00, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
