Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, HollyMM. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page User:HollyMM/Sandbox, 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. Longhair\^talk 17:16, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello

I am one of the original members of the Stairwell Carollers and decided to try to get the groups 44 year history on Wikipedia because no one else had done it. the group has won publicly recognized awards for choral excellence and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity, and is a registered Canadian charity. I would not mind if an unconnected person did this article submission, but as you can see by the number of years (since 2011) I have tried to get help from a third party I have had no luck. My article includes nothing but legitimate links and facts - no editorializing. Nothing about myself is mentioned or promoted. I am not being paid to do this.

Please review the guidelines for organisations, specifically the section titled Primary criteria which details the criteria for an article on an organisation to be included in Wikipedia. The organisation must have received significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth by reliable sources. You will also be required to disclose your conflict of interest at your userpage. -- Longhair\^talk 17:41, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
