Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Christopher Cole Artist. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Colin Cole (officer of arms), 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:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest 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 please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Zinnober9 (talk) 01:44, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Help me!

I have edited the page on Sir Colin Cole, officer of arms as it was libellous. The page having taken information from a Daily Telegraph obituary written by someone who had a personal grudge against Sir Colin I have now corrected it. As a son of Sir Colin this may be a conflict of interest but I have merely removed errors and replaced them with facts. Please let me know if your editorial team is happy to accept my changes summarised in the edit box.

Please help me with...

Please do not edit the article directly. As an editor with a conflict-of-interest with respect to the article, you are asked to make edit suggestions on the Talk:Colin Cole (officer of arms) page and an uninvolved editor will determine what needs to be changed. The material you were removing is indeed problematic but there needs to be some discussion about what reliable sources say and what can be included. Negative material about a subject is definitely allowed in an article when it comes from reliable sources. Declaring something "libellous" is close to making a legal threat and may result in you being blocked from editing. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:16, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

I suppose Christopher Cole Artist means the page says something that is false and harms the reputation of Sir Colin Cole. This may perhaps be resolved by discussing the individual offending sentences or paragraphs on a talk page such as the article talk page which you linked.

Re this change I don't have a big problem with the change in the last paragraph, but a lot of information was removed. Do you want me to restore any of it? Gryllida (talk) 04:19, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
