Managing a conflict of interest
edit
Hello, Sofiya de havilland. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Odessa Catacombs, 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. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:39, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

edit Hello, I'm Chris troutman. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Ukrainian language have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. In particular, Wikipedia warns against bookspam which is listing a book purely to promote same. The fact that you are the author of said book indicates you have a conflict of interest. While we welcome professionals improving Wikipedia, you would be better served trying to push your book on Facebook; Wikipedia is not promotional in nature.
