Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hello, NNNstg. 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. Chickadee46 (talk) 02:29, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

discussion?

Hi NNNstg. Thanks for declaring that you are an employee of Pluribus on your Userpage. I have added the additional declaration on the article's Talk page, which is best practice. Very much appreciate you being forthright about the disclosure. Nice job creating a tight, well-sourced, and neutral (at least on the face of it) article about your employer. I am not sure if there is controversial stuff that should be there, but no puffery, which is great.

In Wikipedia, management of COI has two steps. The first is disclosure, which is done. The second is a form of peer review. I would like to walk you through that, but don' want to just throw a lot of stuff at you. Would you please reply here and let me know that you are open to a discussion?
