Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jamesdavis1992. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Ben Higham-Smith, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the 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 take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Hi you have mentioned in a talk page that you are closely connected to the subject of this article as you train with him and are meeting with him to discuss the article. WP:COI is very strongly discouraged as it is almost impossible to be neutral. You must make a full WP:DISCLOSURE of your relationship with this person and it would be advisable not to edit the biography of a close acquaintance. Domdeparis (talk) 09:00, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
