Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Seadlemichael. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article HEADT Centre, 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 which forms all or part of work 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. AllyD (talk) 06:26, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest

As you can see from the HEADT Centre article and can guess from my user name, I have a conflict of interest by your definition. Think about it though, before deleting: this is an article about a research centre, not a company. I could get someone not associated with the Centre to do the same article, but then you must find a way to make sure the information is accurate. If you care more about the letter of your policies than about accurate information, by all means delete the article.
