Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Inigo.quilez. 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. MrOllie (talk) 11:54, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Not sure how to proceed

Hello MrOllie, thanks for the message.

I am not sure what the process is to write an article about Shadertoy.

Shadertoy is not a paid page or a business, is a hobby project of me and Pol that has become one of the industry standard to share rendering tricks and techniques. We have been asked a few times to write about it in Wikipedia so I went ahead and did it. I am unsure how to do this without creating a "conflict of interest" as seen by Wikipedia.

What would be the process to edit without getting this warnings? I can ask some other use to write it for me, but that doesn't solve the problem Wikipedia is trying to avoid I suppose. What should I do?

Thanks a lot for any help!

@Inigo.quilez: Wikipedia's guidelines discourage us from writing about own own companies or organizations, even if they are not-for-profit. You can still edit articles about other topics related to computer graphics, as long as they aren't about Shadertoy. Jarble (talk) 17:11, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
