Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, 98.29.44.145. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page WZPL, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with 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).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Per your edit summary ("I worked there"), you may have a conflict of interest with this subject. StrikerforceTalk 14:47, 16 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

RE: COI notice

Hi! Regarding this edit summary, I don't believe that I "scolded" you in the conflict of interest notice that I previously left you. I simply stated that - by your own declaration in a previous edit summary - having worked for the radio station previously, you may have a conflict of interest with the subject. Yes, you haven't worked there in over twenty years, but that doesn't necessarily matter, as you would still have an inherent conflict of interest with the subject.
