If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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:
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses.

Thanks for the note. I think you can be a very valuable contributor to Wikipedia. WP:COI is more of a aggravating issue than a problem itself. We all have conflicts of interest. How we manage them is what matters.
I think your plans on what to do next are fairly good, though you'll be walking the line a bit. Wikipedia talk:Conflict of interest, WP:COIN, and Wikipedia talk:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard are good places to get opinions on how to edit with a conflict of interest.
I also highly recommend reading WLU's overview of Wikipedia for new editors. Wikipedia is a big place. Anyone can edit and we encourage ignoring all rules that prevent you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia. However, there are a lot of rules, some very strict, most not so strict, all created to guide editors on how to make valuable contributions to Wikipedia. -- Ronz ( talk) 16:50, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
What I did notice is the label dispenser page was clearly made by one of the manufacturing compteitors. There are many references to specific good/not good sceanrios (IE Plastic/Metal, photo eye, etc etc) Which is what initiated my edit to begin with. I will try to edit the page to include both technologies without the good/not good scenario that is currently there. Mnemonikc ( talk) 19:42, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
