Possible conflict of interest.

I see that you have been adding a number of citations to gregstanleyandassociates.com. Given your username, it seems reasonable to ask whether you are in fact yourself the G.M. Stanley responsible for the material and if so, whether you are aware of the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest policy? As the section on citing oneself makes clear, this is not in itself necessarily a conflict of interest, but it needs to be done with care - on the whole, if you intend to do this, it is probably best to draw attention to the fact on the relevant article talk page, and ask for others to comment, if only to avoid suspicions of self-promotion.
