Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Adam Riches. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article User:Adam Riches/sandbox, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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. Thank you. Longhair\talk 04:34, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
Your username
[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Adam Riches", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because usernames which might lead others to believe that you are a specific, identifiable person (such as the person you're writing about in Draft:Adam Riches) are not really allowed per WP:REALNAME, unless it is your real name. Even in the latter case, your account may be temporarily blocked as a precaution to prevent impersonation until your identity can be verified by OTRS. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:27, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Adam Riches. I saw you're post at WP:MCQ, but you deleted it so I am assuming you found the answer to your question. I did also notice, however, that you are working on a draft for an article about a comic book artist named Adam Riches. Just going by your username, you should be aware that trying to add an autobiography about yourself to Wikipedia is something which is really highly discouraged per Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. You should also be aware of Wikipedia:Ownership of content and Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing because even if you are able to successfully able to get such a draft approved, you will not have an final editorial control over it and anyone anywhere in the world would be able to pretty much edit it (for better or for worse) at anytime.
- All of the above is predicated on the assumption that you are the same Adam Riches; if by chance you are not but are otherwise connected to him professionally or personally, then (1) you will need to change your username per WP:REALNAME and (2) still would be considered to have a conflict-of-interest with anything written about him on Wikipedia. COI editing is not expressly prohibited, but it is something higly discouraged as explained in Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide; moreover, if you are being paid or otherwise compensated for your editing, you will need to formally declare so per Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure or your account can be immediately and indefinitely blocked at a later date if you don't.
- All this is not meant to scare you off Wikipedia, but it's important to understand that all editors are expected to comply with Wikipedia's various policies and guidelines, and those who don't may soon find themselves having problems with others. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask them here, Wikipedia:Teahouse or at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:44, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
