Conflict of interest at Associated Banc-Corp
edit
Hello, Tgutie1. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Associated Banc-Corp, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 32.218.152.109 (talk) 00:01, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
Official bank of the Badgers
editCan you please explain why you removed the 'official bank of the Badgers' reference on the Associated Banc Corp page?
- As explained in the edit summary, the assertion needs a source. Any assertion in an article without a source can be removed. This one had been tagged as needing a source for 17 months. Time for it to go.
- BTW, you have a conflict of interest. You are also being paid by your employer for your editing. As the two warnings you've already received state: (1.) you need to disclose your employer and affiliation with respect to your edits; (2.) you need to be very, very cautious in editing your employer's article. The best practice is to suggest edits on the article's talk page, where an uninvolved editor can review them and add them if they are neutral. You need to read the warnings and take them seriously. Just yesterday 381 users who failed to reveal their affiliation, in violation of Wikimedia’s Terms of Use were blocked from editing. 32.218.152.109 (talk) 04:12, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
