Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, LondonerM&S. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Marks & Spencer, 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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) 10:55, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Dear Edwardx - to confirm I have no connections to Marks and Spencers nor Mr Machin, therefore these additions are not a violation. LondonerM&S (talk) 14:09, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your response, LondonerM&S. I was wondering if you might have some connection to User:48LKEH, who made a similar reversion to the Stuart Machin article? Edwardx (talk) 14:26, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Dear Edwardx - No, not me LondonerM&S (talk) 18:39, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Your username encourages us to infer that you have some connection to Marks & Spencer, but you state there is no such connection

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "LondonerM&S", may not comply with our username policy.

Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username.
