Recent edit to Aneel Mussarat

Hello. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person (Aneel Mussarat), but that you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 12:22, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Matthew Walsh 19. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Aneel Mussarat, 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. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 11:07, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Based on your username and this article you have a very obvious COI and you need to disclose it. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 11:12, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

@HickoryOughtShirt?4: Hello. I have no COI, I work at MCR Property Group. Please communicate with me here.

You have a clear COI because you work at MCR Property Group. You need to stop using Wikipedia to promote your client HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 11:22, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

@HickoryOughtShirt?4: I want to update the profile so it is factual information. As some information is currently incorrect.

All of your edits are promotional in nature. Read the links above and use WP:Edit requests in the future. This is the only way the community is comfortable with COI editing. However, please understand that your best bet is to walk away as COI editing is strongly discouraged. We do not resent the fact that you are being paid to do what we do without pay. We are amateurs in the archaic sense of that word, people engaged in an activity "for love". However, we amateur editors do resent that paid editors write non-neutrally, displaying obvious bias toward their clients, and writing promotionally, and neutral point of view is one of the five pillars of Wikipedia, and is non-negotiable. Amateur editors are especially deeply resentful when paid editors ask for help because they say that they "need" it for their clients. The encyclopedia doesn't need to help your clients, even if your clients need business, which they can find by advertising on their own web sites. So follow the advice that I have given. Your submissions will be reviewed by amateur editors, but you cannot expect that we will clean up your submissions to make them neutral or remove promotional content. We have a less tedious way on reviewing drafts to protect neutrality, and that is to decline non-neutral submissions rather than cleaning them up. We will be glad to answer questions about Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and we will review your submissions. It is your job to write your submissions verifiably and neutrally.HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 11:28, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
