Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, ItaliaConti. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, 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, clients, 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. DuncanHill (talk) 18:54, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

- Perhaps some of the images may have seemed to fall under 'advertising', however the fundamental text changes and changes to company name, directors, principals, etc. are fact based and relevant. As a result of the business' change in focus the infobox was changed from School to University, and accreditors added - again fact based and on the basis of ensuring information is accurate in the public domain.
- You will note that the map currently displayed (and previously displayed before the edits I contributed) is no longer accurate - it points to an old campus that no longer exists - the detail of which (the move) was edited and explained in the Buildings and Facilities section.
- I appreciate that the guidance is to 'avoid' edits about oneself/own company, but the edits were made in the spirit of correcting inaccuracies, and communication of facts was not intended to be otherwise.
- In particular: Profile type (infobox), maps, coordinates, etc.
- Unfortunately the only images available of the building were those produced by Italia Conti, and is an accurate representative of the area, location, which could be useful. If these images - one of which was of the famous 'Italia Emily Stella Conti' as a reference to her and the founding of the school in 1911 - is not acceptable, these can be left off.
- Many thanks. ItaliaConti (talk) 12:53, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
