Epie2020
Welcome!
editHello, Epie2020, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The plain and simple conflict of interest guide

- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}}
before the question. Again, welcome! Whpq (talk) 19:53, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, Epie2020. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Gilles Epié, 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
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. Bbb23 (talk) 16:45, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I'm helping French Michelin-star chef Gilles Epie with his Wikipedia page. He noticed that you deleted part of the opening paragraph and the new press articles about him. Gilles does not own the restaurant, he is the Executive Chef. Only Gilles Epie and myself, Alexandra Radlovic, are updating this page. We have no external relationships. There is no conflict of interest. We only mentioned where he now works, the type of cuisine, and added a few press links.
- Could you kindly explain what is the problem? Perhaps there is a limit on the number of links to press articles we can include??
- If you have any questions, you can email Gilles Epie ([email protected]) or call him at #305.680.7594. We would appreciate if you could restore the page as it was before, with the complete first paragraph, mentioning L'Avant-Garde restaurant (which just opened), and the press links.
- We would really appreciate it. We love Wikipedia!
- Thank you!
- Best,
- Alexandra Radlovic

- Hello,
- Have you seen my December 20th response? There is no conflict of interest.
- Look at any well-known chef on Wikipedia. For example, here's a French chef in New York.
- Jean-Georges Vongerichten
- On his Wikipedia page, he has his biography, mentions where he works and his cooking style.
- Chef Gilles Epie has not done anything different on his Wikipedia page.
- Could you please return his Wikipedia page as it was before. In fact, you deleted part of the 1st paragraph.
- Thank you. Epie2020 (talk) 19:07, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why you say there is no conflict of interest. If you are or work for the subject of the article, you have a conflict of interest. Please see the conflict of interest guidance and do not edit the article directly. You can post requests for edits on the article's Talk page. Also, your comments above imply that two of you are sharing the account. Please do not do this. Tacyarg (talk) 19:31, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Epie2020, you have a conflict of interest on the Gilles Epie article because you have a personal relationship with the subject and you need to stop editing the article. I'm going to revert your edits and tag Bbb23 to see if they can weigh in on this. BlueWhale89 (talk) 14:42, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
