Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Aspiratrona. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Rene Ritchie, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • 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.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.

  Please stop continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Rene Ritchie, without resolving the problem that the template refers to. This may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. Logical Cowboy (talk) 12:19, 21 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Then why instead of helping to improve the article you just appear to post your funky template and leave? I said I reviewed the article, no unbiased words, empressions or whatsoever are found on the article. Just mention here one mate, one word or expression that may imply a COI or just an unbiased view on the subject. I may be a SPA for now, but on the SPA article it says that the discussion has to be focused on the subject, not the person. And that's not disruptive editing at all because I always say why do i do that edit. But we all know how things are done around here, aren't we? I really don't care about the article, it's not even mine, or do you think that i created the COI? That's funny because i just added a few more words to it. LOL.
