Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Information icon Hello, Redgiant. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article New Town High School (Tasmania), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. ScrpIronIV 21:33, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Guidelines[edit]

Hello. I'd like to also point to the school article guidelines. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:46, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]


These are historical facts not COI[edit]

How can they been seen as conflict of interest if this is documented history in hard copy books with the photos of the relevant people displayed on the walls of the school? If this page cannot accurately represent the factual history of the school then please remove this page from Wikipedia. I talk to the people you remove due to not being factual information!! This is very frustrating as we want to us Wikipedia for others to get the true picture of the history of the school and you keep removing it. The page I referred to is the official page for the school while the page you refer to in the document is outdated and incorrect.
