Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Zhuyeding. 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 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. Citobun (talk) 11:12, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Reminder! You need to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation, per WP:PAID! Additionally, please note that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for commercial promotion, but an encyclopedia. Citobun (talk) 02:29, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Dear Citobun,

There is no conflict of interest to disclose and I don't see how the content I have updated being promotional. My updates contain factual description of the projects that this property developer developed and helps people to get a better idea of it, plus, the information i updated is just synchronize with the Chinese wike page 嘉華國際集團. Also, for other property developers, the same information is also available on their wiki pages? How is that those users who updated such contents not getting accused for having a conflict of interest but I am? Why the same kind of content can appear on some wiki pages but not other? Please see below FYR:

Hysan – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysan_Development_Company Henderson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henderson_Land_Development Sun Hung Kai - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Hung_Kai_Properties

I will update the project information again and would truly appreciate if you can take a thorough look at it and provide good reasons should you still think there is any problem on these contents.

Thank you very much for your time.Zhuyeding (talk) 07:27, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Zhuyeding. Considering the amount of blatant promotional editing on that article, and considering that you are re-adding promotional content that was originally added by users with usernames clearly connected to the company, I absolutely do not believe you have no conflict of interest. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia – not a vehicle for advertising. That WP:OTHERSTUFF exists is not an excuse to include crap in this particular article. Yes, Wikipedia is drowning in promotional garbage like this, and you'll find it on similar articles, but that doesn't make it OK. You and your colleagues are clearly not here to build an encyclopedia, so please give it up and go elsewhere. Stop wasting the time of volunteers. Citobun (talk) 15:13, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

In response to your message on my talk page, a couple things: I am just a normal contributor, not an admin. I am also not the only one who has reverted the giant project list, so you have really already gotten a "second opinion". Please also review WP:NOTCATALOG for more information on why the addition of lists of all developments and senior staff may not be considered appropriate for Wikipedia.
