Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, AWitte71. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Ann Dryden Witte, 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, 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. Tacyarg (talk) 16:20, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the COI information. I will refrain from editing such items.

No COI on my edits to Phyllis Wallace. Please restore my edits AWitte71 AWitte71 (talk) 19:38, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for responding. I reverted your changes to Phyllis Ann Wallace not because I thought you had a conflict of interest, but because the reference (https://historycambridge.org/articles/phyllis-ann-wallace-a-leader-for-equal-opportunity) didn't include the quote you added. I did add the page as an external link at the end of the article though. It's a striking quote, and if you have a source for it, please do add it back and cite the source. If you aren't sure how to, referencing for beginners should help. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 19:56, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The quote comes from a time that Tasneem Chipty and I met with Phyllis. Phyllis was one of my mentors and Tasneem was one of my students. Tasneem has a Ph.D. in economics from MIT and is a leading economic expert on anit-trust issues. She is one of the economist for the Government in the current Google case.

Can I site the conversation giving links to my Wikipedia page and Tasneem's NBER page? AWitte71 (talk) 20:22, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can't, I'm afraid, as this isn't a published source - unless Tasneem Chipty has written it up somewhere? Tacyarg (talk) 20:31, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
