Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, JenKCali. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Jonathan Koch, 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 or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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. Thank you. GordonGlottal (talk) 04:36, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, but are now marking the entire page for deletion? Because I did not create the actual page and it is my feeling that the entire page should NOT be deleted. JenKCali (talk) 22:37, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No no, that's a separate discussion and of course you still have the right to object to a proposed deletion. But please note that COI editors are strongly advised not to edit the article directly and instead to request changes on the talk page in accordance with WP:COIEDIT. I mentioned it in the summary only because COI editors can sometimes introduce unsourced personal info (in violation of WP:BLP even with the subject's offline consent) and/or deliberately mislead. For example, a page might look well sourced but the citations would have to be checked if they were added by an editor that later acknowledged a COI. It's nothing personal and I regret describing your connection. I wanted to make sure that other editors believed me and very often COI editors refuse to acknowledge, but as I said I regret it and I apologize. Happy editing, GordonGlottal (talk) 02:49, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
