Hello, I'm AntiDionysius. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Visual Artists Ireland, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 21:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 2A02:8084:2862:8480:7015:C84B:2BE7:776F. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Visual Artists Ireland, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 21:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Updating the VAI page

Further to both notes above, some of the editing you proposed may have merit. I would not agree with removing things like past social networking projects, or old campaigns of note, but adding more recent campaigns, updating membership numbers, etc., sure. Such changes need to be free of Conflict of Interest, and cited. VAI is a major player on the Irish arts scene, and it would be good to have an expanded and current article (but we are an encyclopedia, and are not summarising only the "now" - so don't throw away the records of the past).
