"Offshore Leaks" in NOT an ongoing operation, it is the name of a specific investigation made public in 2013. Please confirm on the "Offshore Leaks" page, here of the ICIJ site, where it says about "Offshore Leaks": "The database contains ownership information about companies created in 10 offshore jurisdictions including the British Virgin Islands, the Cook Islands and Singapore. It covers nearly 30 years until 2010". Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 13:48, 12 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Conflict of interest (COI) "editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. Any external relationship can trigger a conflict of interest.[a] That someone has a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgment about that person's opinions or integrity.[b]" I have no "family, friends, clients, employers, personal, religious, political, academic, financial (including holding a cryptocurrency), legal or other relationships] with the ICIJ. I am not part of any advocacy group either as a paid or unpaid worker. I am not, nor have I ever been a paid editor.Oceanflynn (talk) 02:01, 14 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
93.216.69.12 an IP that geolocates to Karlsruhe, Germany, added a COI tag, here without any explanation, or reason, and without suggesting who they felt had a COI.
64.175.41.175 an IP that geolocates to Bolinas, California added a claim on the talk page, here that this COI tag related to Oceanflynn again without any reason, or evidence for this claim
When claiming that someone has a COI, you need to present suitable evidence, on the talk page, at the same time as adding the template to the article page, but without "outing" the person's real identity, as is explained at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to handle conflicts of interest. In this particular case, no evidence has been provided, so the claim is unsupported, and the template needs to be removed, which I will do, Please note that repeated unsourced accusations can be treated as WP:Harrassment - Arjayay (talk) 17:27, 16 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
