Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Adidadi1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with 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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. I'll add more detail in a moment, I just want to get the basic template here first. Tarl N. (discuss) 16:12, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca

Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm delighted to see someone with a direct connection to an article providing information, but there are some niceties which must be observed.

• Please read WP:COI. It appears you are a sibling to a person mentioned in the article, or are the person himself. As such, that makes any edits you make fall under the Conflict Of Interest polices mentioned in WP:COI. That basically means the edits have to be carefully screened for WP:NPOV, WP:PROMO and similar policies. Ironically, because of the conflict of interest, this scrutiny will be more intensive than otherwise unremarkable edits.
• In your edit, you commented: Our family, with my father being Nicolo, born 1923 are direct lineage with last name being Pignatelli Aragona Cortes. The term pretenders is completely in accurate as our entire living famil has this last name ending in Cortes. Nicolo holds the title of Marquis of Oaxaca with his eldest son Diego being successor.
• The term "pretender" appears to be technically accurate. The title is controlled by the Spanish crown, and was granted to someone other than your family, which makes your family, however legitimate the succession, technically pretenders. The most recent legislation in question is seen here, item 19397: ORDEN de 25 de septiembre de 2001 por la que se manda expedir, sin perjuicio de tercero de mejor derecho, Real Carta de Sucesión en el título de Marqués del Valle de Oaxaca, a favor de don Álvaro de Llanza y Figueroa.
• The changes to the last name of the Pignatelli family need to be referenced by an external citation. Please read WP:RS for what kinds of sources can qualify - basically, any widely distributed publication with an independent editorial board will suffice. If you can reference official documents which are widely available, that would be even better.

I will revert your changes, please do not re-revert them (see WP:BRD) without responding either here or on the article's talk page. Your edits constitute the "Bold" in BRD, and now that they are being reverted, they must proceed through discussion before being re-installed. Please see WP:3RR for what happens if you re-revert.

Again, welcome, and feel free to ask any questions. I've added your talk page to my watchlist, so I'll see anything you place here. Otherwise, you can pose any questions you may have either at the article's talk page: Talk:Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca, or on my own talk page: User Talk:Tarl N. Regards, Tarl N.
