Hello, Faustamens. 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
Fauster Atta Mensah, 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 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. Yworo ( talk) 05:42, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

At User talk:A930913/BracketBotArchives/ 6#BracketBot – Faustamens you asked about improving the African Computer Scientists Association article. It is currently subject to a discussion on whether it should be deleted. The article has quite a few problems. Among the worst is that it does not cite any reliable sources for its content. We need such sources both to allow our readers to verify the article's content and to establish that the organization is notable enough for an article in the first place. If that's not fixed as soon as possible the article will likely be deleted. Furthermore, the draft's tone is unduly promotional, and it would have to be copyedited for grammar and spelling.
