[edit] Hello, I'm C.Fred. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Eric Dick (lawyer) seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a PR piece for the subject. —C.Fred (talk) 11:58, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- I'll rewrite with a more neutral tone. 2601:2C6:4300:A170:F060:3849:7EB0:49DC (talk) 12:12, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Eric Dick (lawyer). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. (bojo)(they/them)(talk) 12:05, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Eric Dick (lawyer). While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Your language about Dick is so glowing and peacocky that it falls into the realm of blatant boosterism and promotion. —C.Fred (talk) 12:06, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
COI
[edit] Hello, 2601:2C6:4300:A170:F060:3849:7EB0:49DC. 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 {{edit COI}} 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. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 13:54, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hello ThaddeusSholto,
- Thank you for your message and for providing guidance on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I apologize if my previous contributions came across as too promotional; that was not my intention. I appreciate your effort in maintaining the integrity and neutrality of Wikipedia content.
- I want to assure you that I am not affiliated with Dick Law Firm, PLLC or any related parties. My contributions were aimed at enhancing the content based on available resources and references. However, I understand the concerns raised and I am committed to addressing them to ensure compliance with Wikipedia’s standards. 2601:2C6:4300:A170:F060:3849:7EB0:49DC (talk) 14:14, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
