Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, JoinFluffy250. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Andy Palmer, 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:

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. Edwardx (talk) 19:52, 8 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Leon Emirali moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Leon Emirali, is not suitable as written to remain published. It appears there is a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself. Onel5969 TT me 15:10, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks @Onel5969. This is helpful. Not paid by the individual, nor is there a conflict of interest. Just finding my way through and this is my first page creation - start small and work my way up :) will make some edits and see where it goes. Not deterred from creating my first page! :) JoinFluffy250 (talk) 16:12, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Well, it's obvious you have a connection to the subject. Could you please explain that? Onel5969 TT me 16:35, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Onel5969. There isn't a connection. I saw the subject on British television and decided to take them on as my first page creation after doing multiple edits of people in business and politics elsewhere on Wikipedia. Personal details found via Companies House (DOB etc), all else sourced via Google and news searches. If this person isn't notable or if you think it doesn't work, happy to take on another subject (I wanted my first page creation to be fairly low-traffic so I can work on it regularly). Keen to get it right. What do you think? Is there a specific reason you think a COI is obvious? I'd be happy to explain if you let me know specific reasons. Thanks very much. Grateful for feedback, as ever. JoinFluffy250 (talk) 16:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Theroadislong thanks for reviewing. Keen to get better at editing, so would be grateful for your response. Which press releases were used? I made sure all my sources were independent from reputable news sources. Do you mean the articles/op-eds that were written by the subject? (e.g the ones in The Times, City AM etc) JoinFluffy250 (talk) 17:01, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Clearly content that he himself wrote is not independent, but www.prweek.com uses press releases too. Theroadislong (talk) 17:38, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Ok thanks - yes makes sense. Will make some edits. Appreciate you replying. JoinFluffy250 (talk) 17:40, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Theroadislong, though I don't think PR Week do publish press releases. I think you are referring PR Newswirem which do. JoinFluffy250 (talk) 17:41, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
their website says "PRWeek epitomises the modern business publishing brand, spanning online, print, events, and social media, incorporating a paid-for content strategy and gated website." People pay to have their content on there it is not independent. Theroadislong (talk) 17:45, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Theroadislong, Most publications take paid-for content by way of advertorials? They are usually clearly marked, the article I included in this article has a named journalist in its byline. Regardless, I will defer to your judgement as the more experienced editor and find another source. Thanks very much. :) JoinFluffy250 (talk) 17:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
As a long-time UK-based PR practitioner, I can confirm that PR Week has a good reputation for clearly separating paid-for content and journalist-written editorial (I have even featured in its editorial and opinion pages myself once or twice). Like most news-based periodicals in every walk of life, its journalists will occasionally use content from press releases; at a PR industry event, I heard a past PR Week editor say they get 100s of releases weekly from which they select only a limited number based on what they judge genuinely newsworthy.
I have made some further edits to the article (adding Wikilinks, and a couple of new sources). From reviewing lots of new articles (I am a New Page Patroller), I think Emirali is borderline notable, but it may be a case of WP:TOOSOON. Paul W (talk) 11:27, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Paul. That's helpful - and thanks very much for improving my attempts at a first page! I guess I'll leave it up to a new page reviewer to judge on notability, but as you say, it does feel like there is a level of notability there. Let's see... thanks again.

Putting it back into the AfC queue will bring it to the attention of other editors soon(ish). If you want to reinvolve Theroadislong you could ping him. Paul W (talk) 15:47, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi Robert. Thanks for reviewing my new page (Draft:Cinch (company)).
Your rejection for it being a duplicate of Constellation Automotive Group (Constellation Automotive Group) is not accurate.
The new page I've submitted is for a subsidiary of that company. You will see on the Constellation Automotive Group page that its subsidaries do have separate articles. It is not the same content.
I am minded to re-submit the article as is, unless you suggest otherwise?
Thanks JoinFluffy250 (talk) 17:12, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Constellation Automotive Group, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cinch. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
