If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Nicole Lapin, 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.

I'd appreciate a fuller accounting of how I fall under any of these guidelines. Apparently examining neutral, objective information and providing an analysis of said information leads to a accusations of a personal nature. I am happy to discuss issues about objective facts, but find bare accusations offensive. I hope you will keep the discourse civil and address it on its merits, rather than engage in ad hominem attacks.
