Managing a conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, HamiltonJoyce. 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. Theroadislong (talk) 21:47, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
Thank you! So, once I’ve written the article, I should ask in talk, while revealing my COI, for another editor to link the existing references back to my new article? And, in general, not do any editing of other related articles myself. Part of the reason I’m wanting to do this is because this person has a very common name, and while he is mentioned many times on Wikipedia, in several articles it links to someone else of the same name. That is one issue which has spurred me to take this on. HamiltonJoyce (talk) 23:26, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
