Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Vivliofika. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article I Liq Chuan, 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. Thekillerpenguin (talk) 23:18, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, User:Thekillerpenguin!

It's not my family. They live in China, I live in Russia... That is the art which I study...

One I Liq Chuan instructor has tried to create this article and got a deletion for copy and paste. It's right, I think. But my instructor asked me to make this article. I saw Sam Chin once. My instructor saw Likjun Chin twice or more and usually work with Sam Chin, but her last name is also not Chin. I think there is no any conflict of interest.

Could you qualify this situation any another way?

UPD: There will be a very big work to fill in this article...

Hi Vivliofika,

Wikipedia has a conflict of interest policy that advises you to be careful when you edit articles about subjects that you have a personal relation to. In addition to families, it also includes organizations and groups. You said in the edit summary for your article that it was for/by the "Russian I Liq Chuan Federation", and if I am understanding you correctly, your instructor asked you to write the article. I think you should try to be cautious when writing about I Liq Chuan, because you seem to be doing this for the Federation. The policy discourages organizations from writing about themselves. For example, a business owner should not write about their own business on Wikipedia or have an employee do it for them. What you are doing is not prohibited, but again, please try to be careful, especially if someone more involved in the Federation is writing the article too.

I hope that helped. Thekillerpenguin (talk) 00:27, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Redirect

I redirected I Liq Chuan to the existing Draft article. It is best that you modify the Draft article and submit it through the Article for Creation process. The article in the present state was no where near acceptable for a main space article so this is the best path.Peter Rehse (talk) 11:30, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Ok! And what should I do with all the time I spend to cite books, articles, videos? How many times can I restore the content? Why all of my work is out? Vivliofika (talk) 11:39, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

You did very little work in the article itself - you did collect some references - BUT if you click on View History and then on a version before I made the Redirect you can copy important sections into the Draft. Take a look what the Draft has done - most I think is already there. Let me know if you have trouble. The real point is that the article needs to be in much better shape to be in article space. Please do any transfers soon.Peter Rehse (talk) 12:16, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

It may be a little, small or non-notable, but it's mine. Thank you for history hint. I thought I've lost the work results. -- I don't speak and write english fluent. Vivliofika (talk) 12:36, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

I did not mean to trivialize your effort - I do know that the way it was the article would not survive. Going through the Draft and Article for Creation process will increase the chance.Peter Rehse (talk) 12:41, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Ok. I'm relying on you experience. I'll be very glad if you watch our article a bit. I got enough information, but I have make many mistakes during the publication. Vivliofika (talk) 13:28, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

The Redirect will be deleted soon. Please transfer what you need to keep over to Draft.Peter Rehse (talk) 13:44, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. Ok. Vivliofika (talk) 14:10, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

I reserved the text to talk section. Thank you! Vivliofika (talk) 14:20, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Could you tell me, how can I prevent the redirect remove? Should I do so? I'm about linking between ru.wiki and en.wiki; Chinese Arts and article... Could I make links from articles (Chinese Arts) to Draft? Technically I can... Should I? Vivliofika (talk) 14:20, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

No the Redirect will be removed. When the Draft article is ready it will be submitted to AfC (you can see it is set up for that already) and an administrator will move it to article space if accepted. Now that you moved the information over you should concentrate on improving the Draft. What you did was OK but really take the unique pieces and move them into the Draft article itself. As I said before - a lot of what you had is already there and the Draft article itself is more developed. At this stage don't worry about the links - get the article accepted first.Peter Rehse (talk) 15:19, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
