If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Comparative phenomenology, 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 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; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. PDCook (talk) 21:04, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Comparative phenomenology. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.PDCook (talk) 15:10, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Comparative phenomenology, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. PDCook (talk) 16:07, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Comparative phenomenology. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. PDCook (talk) 00:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you have made a great number of small edits to the Comparative phenomenology article. I would like to draw your attention to the Sandbox, where you can make test edits. Furthermore, it might a good idea to create articles in your userspace and then transfer them to the mainspace when they're done. Also, please be sure to read WP:Citing sources and WP:MOS for the proper way to cite sources and a review of the Wikipedia manual of style, as the Comparative phenomenology article has issues with both of these topics.

I just wanted to let you know that you can preview the changes you make to an article by using the show preview button instead of the save changes button. In this way, you can make several incremental changes and then once you're satisfied with the result, you can press the save changes button. This will prevent the article history from getting clogged with a bunch of test edits or small changes. Of course, the best thing to do is to create the page first in your userspace and once it's ready, put it on the mainspace. PDCook (talk) 16:29, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Article incubator
editI just wanted to let you know that I moved the comparative phenomenology article to Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Comparative phenomenology until you've completed your edits. When you think it is ready, add a {{Article Incubator|status=eval}} tag to the top and someone else will look at it and move it back to the articlespace if they concur. Happy editing.
