Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, Shera-talenthouse. 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 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. Ifnord (talk) 16:12, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Please help me with... I've made some changes to my organisation's page before reading about COI. There was some very outdated information that I've removed. Does that need to be reverted? Am I allowed to make the changes if I state I'm an employee of the organisation? How do I proceed?

- I would note that it is not your organization's "page", but a Wikipedia article about your organization. This is a subtle but important distinction. Reviewing the information above, and the policies linked to therein, should answer many of your questions. In short, you should generally avoid direct edits related to your conflict of interest, but you are welcome to make formal edit requests(click for instructions) on the article talk page, Talk:Talenthouse, detailing changes you feel are needed. Unless purely factual information is involved(location, names of personnel, number of employees, etc.) information should be sourced to independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 16:56, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- If you are an employee, you are required by the Terms of Use to make a formal paid editing declaration. 331dot (talk) 16:56, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- There is still no paid editing declaration on your user page. Please refrain from further editing until that is in place. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:59, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- I'm working out how to do that now. Is there a way to revert the edits I made? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shera-talenthouse (talk • contribs) 16:00, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- As for how to make the declaration, it's as simple as clicking on the red link to your user page and adding a sentence like "I am an employee of Talenthouse." with double square brackets around the page name create a clickable link to the article in question.
- Once the declaration is in place, you can use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to ask for changes to the Talenthouse page. You should not be editing the page directly. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 16:54, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

- I assume you're asking about Talenthouse - you can look at the history of the article to see that all of your edits have been reverted already.
- Normally, you can look at the history of the article and click on the 'undo' button to revert the most recent edit (and possibly some earlier ones). You can also pick a revision to look at and there will be an option at the top of the page to 'restore this version'.
- Be cautious about using these tools, since you have the same responsibility for using automated tools as you do if you typed in the changes yourself. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 16:48, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
