Conflict of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. 59.95.100.255 (talk) 16:02, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This very much applies to attempts to edit articles about your clients, their companies, etc. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:53, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that you want to do is change your client's photo. Although what 59.95.100.255 and Orangemike say above is true, you may still be able to accomplish this.

The first thing you need to do is to upload his photo to Commons; the link for that is Commons:Upload. The photo that you upload must be licensed under a free license like {{cc-by}} or {{cc-by-sa}}. This means a license that allows anyone to reuse the photo anywhere for anything, including commercial use. Most photos taken by professional photographers are not licensed that way.

When you have done that, you can leave a message on the talk page of your client's article to inform the editors there of the new photo and ask them to consider using it. —teb728 t c 01:09, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see you already did it twelve hours before my post. Sorry I didn't see your request sooner. —teb728 t c 03:31, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
