Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, MikerodgerINN. 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, 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 WP:Spam);
  • 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. Your username and the sources you are adding suggest that you are the Mike Roger associated with Investing News Network, and thus that you have a conflict of interest in adding these links.

Hello Meters, thank you for setting me straight, my apologies for contravening the Conflict of Interest policy.

I have undone my changes on the Kinross Gold article. Instead, I have added a suggestion. Thank you for undoing the other changes for me.

In the future, if I find anything I think could be improved where I am in conflict, I will only make suggestions. MikerodgerINN (talk) 23:08, 4 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
