Conflicts of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --CliffC (talk) 11:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi CliffC. Because of the nature of what we do and the fact that the information posted up is researched and written from a neutral viewpoint, I've been given instructions that as part of this project to help improve the quality, timeliness and accuracy of industry and economic statistics on Wikipedia, we are meant to be uploading as much relevant encyclopedic style economic and industry related information as possible, as long the entries are written from a neutral point of view, the links guide Wikipedia readers directly to freely available data, don't mention the IBISWorld name in the wiki entry, refrain from forecasting statistics, stick to Wikipedia's style guide and incorporate reputable references other then IBISWorld in the entry.

You can see from the entries I am doing that there are no forecasts and the information is based on economic and industry history and trends. I am making sure to always cite reputable sources other then IBISWorld (such as what I have been doing with the US Census Bureau, Wall Street Journal, as well as other research providers) in the entries as well. These trends do not promote any product in particular but add to the depth of content. We have access to a large library of encyclopedic style economic history that fits in with Wikimedia principles and can greatly add to Wikipedia's content. The data in the entries I am adding can be freely viewed by Wikipedia readers if they choose to follow the links either to IBISWorld data, the links to other recognized government, economic and industry sources or links the other reputable research providers I cite.

That being said, I understand your point and I'll also be adding more entries that don't mention IBISWorld and don't link to the IBISWorld website

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 12:55, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
