Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, BaseballLover334. 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 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:

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.

To be clear, you did the right thing by posting at the BLP noticeboard. This message is to provide some additional guidance. Also, there is no need to use your real name. If you have questions, you can ask the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 17:22, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Indeed! What a pleasure to see a real pro managing their COI in the proper manner. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 16:54, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
