Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Rssnep. 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. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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 familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Citobun (talk) 07:57, 21 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Rssnep, this is a response to your email enquiry. As you can imagine, many entities try to edit their own Wikipedia pages. But this can conflict with our policies on neutral point of view. Please review the above conflict of interest notice. If you hold a conflict of interest as your username suggests, it would be best if you suggested changes on the article talk page. Specifically please note which parts are incorrect and I will make corrections.
I agree that the article probably exaggerate how controversial the wheel is. But I also don't think the edit summary "The wheel was never controversial but very well received by all Hong Kong people" is accurate - particularly as controversies were covered as such in reputable news media.
I will work on the page in the coming days. I think it would be best to condense the "controversies" section within a new "history" section. Please point out any inaccuracies on the talk page and suggest changes there and I am happy to help. Regards, Citobun (talk) 08:20, 21 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
