Conflict of interest on Phil Waldrep

  Hello, Hannah philwaldrep. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Phil Waldrep, 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. sixtynine • speak up • 22:22, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

edit

Hi Hannah. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia. Your edits to date are all about Phil Waldrep - I am guessing from your username that you intended to let everybody know that you work for Phil Waldrep Ministries.

Is that true? If so, we need to work with you, because you what we call a "conflict of interest" (COI) per the notices above.

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing COI is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. So please do let me know if you work for him or his ministry. You can reply here, just below - I am watching this page. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 04:28, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I am new to Wikipedia, and yes- I do work for Phil Waldrep Ministries as a graphic designer. I am trying to get Phil's wikipedia page completed. However, I am new to this site and a little confused as to why so much of my info is being deleted.
Thanks, Hannah — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hannah philwaldrep (talkcontribs) 19:03, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hannah, please take a moment to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for your answer. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:28, 6 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hi Hannah, I didn't notice your reply, sorry. Wikipedia has a bunch of policies that govern content (explained in the links in the Welcome section I posted at the top of this page). The content you added violated those policies, which is why it was deleted. More importantly, if you read WP:COI you will see that you should not have directly created this article. I am not sure if you have an interest in WP beyond promoting your employer. If you do, please let me know and i can help you more. If all you want is a page about Waldrep, please let me know that too and I can explain more about what is going on. Sorry again for missing your reply.
