Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, Jordan kopman. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 WP:Spam);
- 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. Guy (help!) 13:23, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Good practice going forward
[edit]Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. It helps a great deal.
Assuming, in the future, you get the editing bug, may I suggest you create a genuinely WP:COI free alternate user for true hobby work, and declare that you also have this account for the COI work?
Transparency is very important, and also very useful for any future hobby fun here. Fiddle Faddle 13:50, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
