Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, GGLibrarian. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Anh Duong, 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); Noted that you have done this on your Talk page and in edit summary - thank you
• 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. Tacyarg (talk) 12:34, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, I have tried to stick to those guidelines. I believe I have not changed the content of the page in any meaningful way that adds "promotional only" material and I have disclosed my COI in all three ways that are given on the paid contribution disclosure page.

I have even maintained the entry to the catalogue of a competitor.

However, I have not used the request edit template, I shall do so in the future. Sorry for that, I have so far only done minor changes as a private person and try to adapt to the conflicting interests of contributing to Wikipedia and working here, however, I am sincerely trying to balance out the two.

Thanks for that; your edit to Anh Duong looks fine to me and your edit summary is helpful. Tacyarg (talk) 14:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Happy editing! Tacyarg (talk) 14:34, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the warm welcome, it is much appreciated. I didn't know about the teahouse at all, I think I will visit it very soon. :)

Since you are just active right now, I am currently proposing some changes to the German Version of Yves Klein via the Request Changes edit... the exhibition history is a bit all over the place, I wasn't planning to add anything from the Galerie Gmurzynska as such, just to set the record straight... however, I noticed the exhibition history has no sources at all. My first impulse was just to correct the exhibitions that are already there and not add any links as to not change the weighting of the article at all, however it seems to me that sources may be helpful after all, is there any recommendation for that?

But I suppose I should redirect most of this to the teahouse, but thanks again for the hello. GGLibrarian (talk) 14:39, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your response. I have read your question on the Teahouse too. I can't comment on the policies on de.wikipedia, but will say that if I saw on en.wikipedia that someone with a conflict of interest had added references to fairly obviously factual and neutral statements like a list of exhibitions, I would find that a helpful addition, especially where the editor, like you, has declared their CoI and is clearly acting in good faith. Hope that's useful, and best wishes. Tacyarg (talk) 21:50, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
