Hello Jason. I notice you have been editing Millais related pages. Are you a relative of the artist? Paul B 09:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

COI

My question, coming a dozen years after Paul Barlow's, has to do with whether you're top-loading articles with references to books you've written. In at least one instance, you've added a link to an interview of Jason Rosenfeld in the Brooklyn Rail [1]. This is not to question your expertise, which appears to be considerable, but it is an issue if you've edited here with the intention of self-citing, and have never divulged a conflict of interest. So, below is the applicable note. Thank you, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:03, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Jasonmillais. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with 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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:03, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Is this how to respond to your perfectly reasonable question? All the edits I have recently made are relevant. I am updating outdated pages and correcting inaccuracies. I have cited my own and other publications in the process. I do not believe I am top-loading articles. Many of these entries have not been updated since the late Dr. Barlow edited them years ago. Please advise. Jasonmillais (talk) 01:39, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks for your response. If you are adding links to your own publications, or those of your associates, then conflict of interest may be relevant. Similarly, if you're adding links in Wikipedia articles to interviews about yourself or your associates, then that can constitute a similarly sticky direction. Conflict of interest doesn't automatically invalidate the substance or content of such edits, but it's wise to be transparent. Your openness is greatly appreciated. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:47, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

• And for what it's worth, and notwithstanding the above, your contributions here are welcome. I just had another look at Brooklyn Rail, and its issues are of another order: the plenitude of links to interviews and articles is, to put it diplomatically, problematic. Cheers, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:53, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
