Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, SStankovic1964. 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:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 20:47, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

I am from Montenegro, and that why I know for our scientist Srdjan Stankovic. That all :) But it is OK if I cannot write abotu him because we are from the same country. SStankovic1964 (talk) 21:02, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

I saw an articles about some other famous persons from Montenegro on Wikipedia, and that is why I thought I could put an aricle about this person. SStankovic1964 (talk) 21:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

So, despite your username, you are saying that you are not Srdjan Stankovic, born in 1964? Secretlondon (talk) 07:47, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

No, I am not Srdjan Stankovic born in 1964. I just wanted to write an article about this person from my country. The username that I was planned to use was not available, so I tried several others that were also already taken so I decide to use this username related to the article topic. That was not a good idea, obviously :) SStankovic1964 (talk) 09:37, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
