Hi!

Hi there. Thanks for contributing to the Dick Brass article. This is an article—on a person who clearly meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines—that could use considerable expansion.

If you have information—particularly in reliable third-party sources (although primary sources are fine for non-controversial facts), could you please identify the information and sources?

Given that (whether or not this is the case) given your user name, editors and other readers are likely to assume that you may have a WP:COI when writing on the topic, I would be happy to incorporate any information you can source (and that I deem appropriate) into the article. Of course, if you disagree with my treatment, you are free to make any edits you like (indeed, you are free to ignore my offer to assist in the expansion of the article). ^Bongo_matic 03:49, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Dickbrass. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Dick Brass, 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 article subjects 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)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
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. Tacyarg (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
