Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Rakel Helmsdal. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Rakel Helmsdal, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• 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. Tacyarg (talk) 16:53, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi

I am only updating a page about myself, as no one seems to take care of it. And I am trying to remove some old photos of me, that I did not give permission to, that are used on my page. How can I do that? Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 17:10, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

It is not good for my work, that old informations and photos are the first thing one sees, when finding me on the web. Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 17:11, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Could you please revert my changes back, as I am correcting wrong information. Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 17:19, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi. If you use "edit COI template" on the article's Talk page as explained in the guidance above, other editors will see the requests and can implement them. Please add sources for any additional information. Please do not edit the article directly. If you would like to discuss this with other editors, the teahouse is a good place.

Hi, you are still editing the article. Did you read the conflict of interest guidance? We all want the article about you to be as good as possible, but editing it yourself is not the way to do this. If you post edit requests on the article's Talk page, uninvolved editors will see the requests and can act on them. Tacyarg (talk) 10:17, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I have been adding sources and now I am blocked! Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 10:45, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

it is not possible for me to pay somebody to add all the correct informations that I myself know extremely much better than anyone else. So I just end up with a outdated page both concerning images and information. Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 10:48, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

and I can't even ask questions! Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 10:51, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I mean, I can't even pose a question in the teahouse. Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 10:52, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, you should absolutely not pay anyone - that is not what I am suggesting at all. You don't look blocked to me - usually that shows as your username struck out. What message are you getting? Do you want me to ask a question for you in the Teahouse? Tacyarg (talk) 11:34, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I get a message, that my IP is blocked and when I request unblocking it is called spam :'-(

I was going to ask, how I should proceed to have information corrected of me, when I am not allowed to correct it myself... Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 11:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I am blocked from editing wikipedia in generel, not just the english version, but also my own language. Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 11:38, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

And I also wanted to ask, if somebody could held me with the photos that are of me on Wiki. They are old and I want them removed. I have not given any consent to have them there, so I aught to be allowed to have them removed. I have tried and tried to do that, at have some photo, that I have given consent to replace them. Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 11:45, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh, it seems like my request has been admitted anyway :) I am unblocked now, so I'll as in the Teahouse myself :) Rakel Helmsdal (talk) 11:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
