If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;
- 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,
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Reverted edits to Kevin Toney
I reverted past your edits to the article today. This is for 3 reasons:
- You removed reference text, which could leave the article open to deletion under Wikipedia's WP:BLP policy. (That's what the previous edit had been intended to address.)
- Some of the added text was non-encyclopaedic in tone ("He’s a pianist, composer, arranger and producer. A renowned contemporary instrumental recording artist, Kevin has shared his gifts and spirits with people all around the world. ")
- And thirdly, there is the conflict of interest issue, as was noted previously above.
