Potential conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Dbreemeersch. 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 Cirrus Aircraft, 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.

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Cirrus Aircraft may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

COI and image licensing

edit

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia.

First, I would like to echo Ahunt's caution on conflict of interest. If you are, as seems likely, closely connected with Cirrus, then you will need to be cautious about not appearing biased towards its products. We can be sensitive about this sort of thing.

Second, I notice that you have uploaded a number of images to the Wikimedia commons. Although you are attaching permissive licenses, there may be some question as to the freedom of others to distribute or edit images which look as if they might be Cirrus corporate property. If so, then these images may not be suitable for the Commons.

If you are able to engage with your fellow editors and explain your side of these issues to us, it would be much appreciated.
