Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, YMazur. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page American Zionist Movement, 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. BugGhost 🦗👻 17:16, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I want to edit the page for American Zionist Movement based on their website information. For some reason after I tried this, the whole page (except for the info box) pretty much disappeared

Please help YMazur (talk) 18:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi YMazur - thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! Could you answer these questions:

- Do you have a connection to American Zionist Movement? For instance, is it your employer, or an organization you are a member of?

- Are you being paid to edit this article?

The most of the content of the article was removed because it didn't have any sources - this happens a lot in Wikipedia, as text in article needs to be backed up by reliable sources. There is a big warning on that article that says "Unsourced material may be challenged and removed", and it has been there for over a year - the material remained unsourced during that time and so now was deleted. Information can be added back if/when it has reliable sources to back it up.

Thanks - BugGhost 🦗👻 18:21, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

I am not employed by AZM, but I am an individual member, and the information I intended to add was from their website. So, this should be considered a reliable source, no?

If not, which sources would you consider reliable?

Thanks! YMazur (talk) 19:05, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources considered reliable are discussed here. Articles should generally not be edited by those who have a conflict of interest with the subject - seeing as you are a member of this org it would be best if you edited other articles instead -see WP:COI for more info on this policy BugGhost 🦗👻 22:24, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
