Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, HagenOskar. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Light pollution, 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 organizations 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);
- 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. See WP:SELFCITE in particular. Belbury (talk) 16:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Dear Belbury, Thank you for your message. I added this references back again for the sake of context regarding some of the information included by myself in 16 October 2020 referring to fireflies as bio indicators. This was changed slightly ever since https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Special:Contributions/2A02:810A:B80:8C0:E0CF:8040:3C3:B4C with the removal of this citation, which specifically refereed to fireflies as bio-indicators though numerical and empirical proof. I leave it to your discretion to undo, and if you have any further questions or need additional clarification, do not hesitate to contact me.
