Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Xtineburrough. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Amazon Mechanical Turk, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
• instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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, the Wikimedia Foundation'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.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. Gyrofrog (talk) 18:25, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi There, I understand that writing about yourself is a conflict. Is there some way that Wiki can see if someone else wants to validate what I've added, rather than delete my contribution outright (I've added additional sources here)? I'm not trying to sell something. I'm simply interested in adding my work to the dialog. There are others, too, who should be added to this section of the Amazon Mechanical Turk wiki page.Xtineburrough (talk) 21:18, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

I would suggest that you bring up the proposed change(s) at Talk:Amazon Mechanical Turk (for example, using the {{request edit}} template). That way, other editors who are actively involved with that article can see your request. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:50, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
