Managing a conflict of interest
edit
Hello, EkaterinaTash. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Martin Roth (museum director), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 14:02, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, regarding my removal of the content you added. I did not do it for the possible COI issue detailed above, but because almost none of it was referenced and there was no indication that the information was notable. A museum director's normal work administrating a museum's exhibitions would not usually be notable enough for Wikipedia content, so I think it is not correct to just list every single exhibition that took place during Roth's tenure as a director. It would only be notable if he had made an important contribution to or impact on an exhibition and a source had reported on that contribution/impact.
