Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Bboghosian. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Bruce M. Boghosian, 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 organizations 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. Thank you. Kj cheetham (talk) 18:21, 9 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Dear KJ Cheetham, Thank you for your message and for the links to Wikipedia's CoI policy, of which I had been unaware. I can assure you that there has been absolutely no paid editing, and no advertising on this Wikipedia page. I edited it only to make mostly minor corrections and additions for accuracy, and to add links to my publications. Please tell me how you think we should proceed. If my edits present a problem, you can remove them and just keep what had been there, and I won't touch it again. Sincerely, Bruce Boghosian Bboghosian (talk) 18:45, 9 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Dear Bboghosian, thank you for your reply. I have no issue with leaving your edits in place; someone else will make further edits if they feel they need to. I recommend for any further changes you want to make to the article you should leave a message on the article's talk page using {{request edit}} though. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:24, 9 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Dear KJ Cheetham, Thank you very much for your reply and for your helpful guidance on how to properly request an edit to a Wikipedia page. I won't directly edit this page again. Sincerely, Bruce Boghosian Bboghosian (talk) 20:27, 9 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
