Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 67.136.134.82. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Virtual office, 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. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:01, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Ruby Receptionists

Hi, per the note above, do you happen to have a relationship or an affiliation with Ruby Receptionists? K.e.coffman (talk) 00:45, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I apologize for my mistake. I am affiliated with Ruby Receptionists and I am attempting to update our Wikipedia page with our most recent office location, updated number of employees, and services. I will stay away from editing any other pages or using promotional language. Sorry about my naivety!

As an employee, can I not update my company's Wikipedia page?

You can update the page, but if you have a conflict of interest with the company it is highly discouraged since you may be seen as "promoting" your company. If you maintain a neutral point of view, and stay away from promotional edits than you will be just fine... :-) 172.58.40.49 (talk) 01:30, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Please avoid editing the page Ruby Receptionists then. Instead you can request changes on the Talk page using the template {{request edit}}. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:22, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
