All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• 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.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Thanks for being understanding! By the way, I thought of something you might be interested in. While your article was deleted, I noticed that

CC-BY-SA, which allow reuse by Wikipedia and anyone else so long as we attribute the photo to its author and share it under a similar license ourselves. This would allow us to include the photo of you recording lines in the article. It's something to point your friends to over a beer without the possible negatives of having your own article. If you're interested and have such a picture, let me know, and I'll be happy to walk you through the steps. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 00:44, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply

That is interesting, but the realist in me would point out that a picture of me alone in a studio could be me recording anything. However, there's a big Sonic anniversary event coming up next week which I and some castmates could be attending (nothing's been announced as of this edit). If we're there, I can most likely get SEGA to allow re-use of a group shot with several of us doing what we do, or at least appearing en masse on a stage because we are who are. That could be used as is, or cropped to feature me, as appropriate. I'll see what I can arrange. Thanks for the germ of an idea! Itsamike (talk) 13:32, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Such an image might be useful in many articles, actually. That would be great! Unless it's an issue of not burning bridges with Sega or them disallowing photography at the event, you don't need their permission for the copyright; just whoever takes the picture. If you had a family member snap a quick photo from the audience when you were all on stage, for instance, just that family member's permission would be sufficient. There are steps we'd have to go through to verify that permission, but they're fairly easy hurdles to jump over (a quick email conversation between the photographer and a volunteer staffing a permissions-related email) and we can worry about those once you have a picture. Have fun at the event! ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 18:04, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. With that thought in mind, there are these pics from last month's Twitter Takeover, including one of me recording with Roger Craig Smith/Sonic. Ayzenberg is a PR firm, so they're in the business of allowing re-use, and I got specific reuse permission via email, but what's the best way to convince you that they're available for re-use?
