January 2013

Hello, I'm Widr. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to Macaroni and cheese, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Widr (talk) 16:10, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The Culinary Institute of America. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. You are not using Reliable Sources, and the writing is heavily promotional. I will add less promo info on the Colavita Center to the articles on the Hyde Park campus and the general CIA history soon. As well, don't remove a valid image representing a whole other campus in that section. There are enough Hyde Park (and especially Roth Hall) photos there. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 20:28, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi anonymous editor. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. Your edits to date, as of those of ColavitaUSA and the older edits of Benprofaci are all about Colavita and are very promotional. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, 75.99.119.254. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Colavita, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or the like)? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. Also if you have edited here under other accounts, please name the accounts - it is not OK to edit under multiple named accounts, or to edit while logged out in order to avoid scrutiny. After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 21:38, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
