The following Wikipedia contributors may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.
What do you mean "how so"? Anyone who is connected to the subject in any way has a conflict of interest. It doesn't matter what your edits are, although in this case your edits were both clearly LLM-generated and poorly sourced so they were removed. CFA💬17:05, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A conflict of interest is defined by someone's relationship to something, not about whether or how the person acts on that conflict. An officer or an employee or a member of an organization, for example, has a conflict of interest with respect to that organization. Period. If they contribute here in a completely neutral manner in the same way that a disinterested person would, and all their content is based on citations to independent reliable sources, the conflict of interest still exists. That conflict of interest, then, gives rise to the possibility that that person, however factual and source-based their contributions might be, are choosing what to focus on—and what to avoid—in a manner that results in a picture of the organization such as might be conveyed through its own website, not one that would be conveyed by a neutral source. A posteriori I've frequently encountered people with an acknowledged COI who swear they're certain that their contributions are totally neutral when they absolutely aren't. So a COI can even lead to unawareness of the biases in one's writing. Largoplazo (talk) 17:11, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
