Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, LevEliezer. 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, 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. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 11:40, 16 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm MrOllie. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hello. I'm working on COI requested edits, and noticed your additions and MrOllie's subsequent deletions of external links on various articles. I looked at several, and I don't see an immediately obvious problem with the links. I've left a note on MrOllie's talk page inquiring about their removal. As MrOllie hasn't edited since May and my own Wikipedia schedule can be unpredictable, I don't expect this to be resolved quickly, but wanted to let you know your requests haven't been forgotten. Thanks for your patience. Cheers, BlackcurrantTea (talk) 09:48, 22 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

I have opened a discussion on the Conflict of Interest noticeboard on the remaining edit requests since you've received conflicting feedback on whether to add the links or not. Your input is welcome. Altamel (talk) 00:55, 24 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
