Conflict of interest

Hello, Xavierjwong. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Specifically, if you want to write an article about your company, your best approach is to use Wikipedia:Articles for creation, where your article can be evaluated by a neutral reviewer for submission into main article space.

Also remember that Wikipedia is not a business directory and Wikipedia must never be used for promotion or publicity. Attempts at using Wikipedia for that purpose may result in your account being blocked and your company links blacklisted from being used on Wikipedia. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:05, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
