Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, 66.198.222.67. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Adrian Cheng, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Citobun (talk) 05:14, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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

Noted you chose to remove a COI tag from Adrian Cheng and simultaneously added edits clearly COI motivated. This is wasting our time, so, if you want the tag to stay off the page, kindly be more circumspect about the substance of your contributions. Thank you. sirlanz 01:41, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sirlanz, how on earth are they "openly COI?" Please explain. I frequently edit pages being nominated for deletion, and a great many of them were the previous victims of sockfarms. Protecting from prior sockpuppet infestations is not a good excuse to assume all future IP editors are associated, especially without clear evidence (i.e. diffs to show behavior). Many neutral and experienced editors use IP accounts after suffering harassment with named accounts. 66.198.222.67 (talk) 03:14, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for engaging. Repetitive trumpeting of subject's renewal of executive positions, for example. Hard to imagine why any disinterested editor would go to the trouble. sirlanz 03:20, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
sirlanz, the editor reverted my edits without good reason, which is irritating and motive enough to involve myself. More relevantly, Template:COI reads (bolding my own) "if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article. If you do not start this discussion, then any editor is justified in removing the tag without warning. Be careful not to violate the policy against WP:OUTING users who have not publicly self-disclosed their identities on the English Wikipedia." Do you have any evidence in diffs, i.e. editing behavior or stylistic consistencies between my contributions and former editors? That would suffice as grounds to prove bias, if that is your intent. 66.198.222.67 (talk)
I have given one example. Perhaps you would like to engage in discussing it? sirlanz 03:45, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Moms at War has been reverted.
Your edit here to Moms at War was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64sY7v5dW_8) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 03:41, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
