If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article William Woodruff, 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:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
4. avoid breaching 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Please discuss suggested changes on the article's talk page -- your recent edits were fine, but anything more substantial must be discussed first and sourced. ukexpat (talk) 16:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to help out. – ukexpat (talk) 14:15, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that you are Mr Woodruff's widow. First and foremost, my sincere condolences on your loss. Second, do you have a picture of Mr Woodruff that could be uploaded and added to the article? To comply with Wikipedia's policies it should be a free use image, ie one that you took. It could be uploaded to Commons. Please let me know if you would like my assistance. I will be away on vacation for the next two weeks, but happy to help on my return. – ukexpat (talk) 15:33, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay replying - I have just returned from a two-week vacation. I looked at the website that you referred to and as there is no copyright release on that page, the image would appear to be copyright. The copyright owner, probably you or your late husband's estate, will have to follow the process set out at WP:IOWN (probably sending an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org is the easiest) to release the image for use on Wikipedia, then we can upload it here and use it in the article. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 12:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the message you just posted on my talk page. Did you go through the process at set out at WP:IOWN in order to release the copyright image for use on Wikipedia? Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 01:26, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Saw you most recent message - did you get a reply from permissions with a ticket number? – ukexpat (talk) 20:43, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Getting back to you on your question. The only thing I can suggest is that you contact permissions again as set out at WP:IOWN. Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 16:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to report that the OTRS folks have done their thing, uploaded the image and added it to the article. Please let me know if I can be of any further help. – ukexpat (talk) 18:27, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
