Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 2A00:23EE:2370:2281:3D7E:2940:6BFA:E7F0. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Joe Stephenson (director), 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);
• 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Mike Allen 20:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Apologies but the edits are factual statements, not personal opinion or for promotional uses. Some of what is on the page is inaccurate, and misleading, hence the corrections. So while I’m happy to declare a connection, there is no conflict in what has been written. Can this please be re-instated, there is no logic in not accepting edits from someone who is better placed to fact check and provide more information. If you feel there is any bias in the edits, feel free to remove them. But we have been careful to be purely factual. 2A00:23EE:2370:2281:3D7E:2940:6BFA:E7F0 (talk) 20:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I take it you did not read the link about WP:COI... Mike Allen 20:42, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
