Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Jugrla70. 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 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest 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 which forms all or part of work 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. MrOllie (talk) 15:35, 6 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I see. To be clear (and so Willsome429 is clear) I am not paid. But in the future, if facts are inaccurate, should I suggest an edit with appropriate references for another editor to make?Jugrla70 (talk) 15:39, 6 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes, that is the best practice for people in your situation. Thanks! - MrOllie (talk) 16:03, 6 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hi - hope you don't mind another editor sticking their nose in, I just wanted to try to explain the issue that Willsome429 described. The us/we pronouns are a bit of a red flag - even if only one person has access to the e-mail address associated with the account, we expect only one person to have access to the password associated with the account as well. Accounts cannot be shared-use - only one person should be editing under a single username. You can read more about this at WP:UPOL, specifically at WP:NOSHARING. Accounts where the password is compromised are usually immediately and permanently blocked. You should probably declare here and now that only one person will ever have access to this account.
It's a bit confusing how you said on Willsome429's talk page that you were part of Landauer's PR and management team, but now are saying that you are not paid for your work - that doesn't stack up at first glance. It would probably give others confidence if you could explain your connection with her a bit more clearly.
The links in the notice above give some guidance about how to go about editing in an area where you have a conflict of interest. This would apply even if you are not paid, but the rules are slightly different, so it would be good to read through them carefully and see which apply to you. You can add a declaration to your user page, and you are expected to declare the interest whenever you edit on a subject where a conflict exists. You're welcome to give me a shout if you need any guidance on this. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 16:42, 6 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
