Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Heartfilled. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Thandeka (minister), 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 00:17, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Noting my Conflict of Interest with the page "Thandeka"
[edit] | This user has publicly declared that they have a conflict of interest regarding the Wikipedia article Thandeka (minister). |
Hello Tacyarg, Thank you for alerting me to the COI issues related to my edits to the page Thandeka (minister). I've disclosed my COI on the Talk page. I include an excerpt from that disclosure here:
"I am a friend of Thandeka and a volunteer. I receive no compensation for my editing assistance.
As a new Editor, I seek advice from the Editing community:
(1) Can the removal of the Personal Life section stand?
(2) How do I best assist in editing to remove "promotional content?" By requesting edits from non-COI Editors? By doing the edits myself with proper disclosure in the Edit Summary?
References to appropriate Help articles are welcome — I already have ten articles open in my browser, and appreciate in advance any assistance that filters chaff.
