Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Ernie Barnes Trustee. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Ernie Barnes, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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 for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. General Ization Talk 21:46, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. I noticed that in this edit to Ernie Barnes, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:55, 9 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

If you are being paid by Ernie you are required to declare it per Wikipedia's TOS. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:56, 9 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
