Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, TTTal. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

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. RegentsPark (comment) 21:19, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi. You need to declare your relationship with the andipage gallery if you wish to continue editing on wikipedia. Also, your addition of links to that gallery as citations is a form of reference spamming. Please stop doing that. You are welcome to add content about art but please use citations other than that particular gallery. Thank you. --RegentsPark (comment) 21:26, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Dear Regentspark, thank you for your message. I found the gallery online and that they have comprehensive information on a range of artists. Happy to contribute using a wider range of citations going foroward. Thank you TTTal (talk) 10:43, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
The issue is that all your edits are adding a link to that site as a citation. As you can imagine, the optics are not good. Add also that a gallery is not the most reliable of sources for art (they are trying to sell the stuff after all). Perhaps you should branch out a bit and not use the andipage gallery as a source going forward. RegentsPark (comment) 20:34, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Dear Regentspark,
Thank you for your suggestion. I think that all makes sense and happy to branch out as you suggest. TTTal (talk) 16:24, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
