Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, GeJones1993. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Phoenix Reading Hockey Club, 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 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. — Diannaa (talk) 12:31, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi,

I am an un-paid employee of Phoenix Reading Hockey Club so selecting that I am a paid representative would simply be untrue. Phoenix Reading Hockey Club does not pay its members of staff excluding external coaches. I am the Website Officer for Phoenix Reading Hockey Club and control the content on our website including the 'About Us' section which you linked to previously. There is no 'Conflict of Interest. If you have doubts in any if this, please use the 'Contact Us' section of our website and by selecting myself (George Jones) - Website Officer.

Many thanks. GeJones1993 (talk) 17:01, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It appears that you have created or edited an article about an organization/team. However, the following problems exist with your submission:

1. You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - even if you are the copyright holder, or have the copyright holder's permission - unless the material has been released for use by the verified copyright owner into the public domain or under a license compatible with Wikipedia. These licenses allow anyone — not just Wikipedia — to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt your work, free of charge and in perpetuity, provided that you are attributed as the author. Also, because some derivative works may be commercial, we cannot accept materials that are licensed only for educational use or even for general non-commercial use. Releasing the material is both permanent and irrevocable.
2. Wikipedia requires that organizations meet its notability criteria to be deemed worthy of inclusion. It means this organization must have already been the subject of significant coverage by multiple sources that are both reliable and independent of the organization itself. Organization-authored sources (such as press releases, interviews and social media) are defined as self-published and therefore not reliable. Wikipedia:Perennial sources is a good place to find out which sources are deemed reliable and which are not.
3. Since you have a personal or professional involvement with the organization you are writing about, then you have an inherent conflict of interest (COI). COI editors are not prohibited from contributing, but are highly discouraged to do so, due to the inherent difficulty of writing from the required neutral point of view. Please note that writing with the intention to promote or publicize anything or anyone is strictly prohibited.

I'm sorry that this message was not more favourable. If you require more assistance, please consult the Help Desk or the Teahouse for new editors. Thank you for your cooperation, and best of luck with your future edits. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:43, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mattdaviesfsic. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Reading TMD, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 05:10, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
