Regarding your edits to your article

It is recommended that you refrain from editing the article about you as it is conflict of interest. I recommend that you read Wikipedia's FAQ on such matters before you edit the article about you or E!. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:35, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Adddendum

As the article's author, I would like add my own respects and caution to User:Mruvka in that the informations which were removed had been presented in a neutral fashion and were well cited in numerous reliable sources... and the informations that were added were not supported by sources.

In addition to the pages offered above where Wikipedia cautions about conflict of interest and answers questions on article subjects, I would encourage that you also read up on Wikipedia's requirements for neutral point of view, verifiability of included information, and support of information in reliable sources. I would further urge that if you have concerns with the article, that you discuss these concerns on the article's talk page at Talk:Alan Mruvka, rather than making any changes yourself, allowing other editors to address concerns or make additions.

Hello Mruvka. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Mruvka. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mruvka|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. ~ Winged Blades^Godric 07:15, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Mruvka. 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. 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 COI 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 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. ~ Winged Blades^Godric 07:15, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
