Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]Hello, ShoniaBrown69. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Shonia Brown, 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. Q T C 19:54, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, this is not a paid promotion nor is it an attempt to advertise, publicize or promote anyone or anything. However, it is an attempt to update the existing content about Shonia Brown with the most recent and relevant information. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

- You still have a conflict of interest, as your username is the same as that of the subject of the article in question. It's discouraged to edit an article about yourself. See the above links as to why. Procyon117 (talk) 20:15, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
