Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, The Film Producer. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article When the Lights Went Out, 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. Keri (talk) 09:31, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Advice
[edit]Making changes to articles without adding reliable sources while yelling at people to "get your facts straight" is not particularly constructive. Furthermore, as a disinterested observer would still probably conclude that you are connected with Beattie McGuinness Bungay, the advice above regarding conflicts of interest is very pertinent. Regarding Trevor Beattie, he may have been the chairman of TBWA but the current references state only that he was creative director. When a reliable source is found that also states he was chairman, the article may be altered. That article is covered by Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy, which demands reliable, published sources. Keri (talk) 11:42, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
