[edit]Hello, Amccord. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
- 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. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 23:19, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

- Removing the COI tag after this conversation [1]. Drmies is right--you're not required to stay off the article, but the fact that you returned and removed the COI tag is proof that it's still an issue. 2601:188:180:B8E0:85B0:B2F8:1934:3327 (talk) 05:07, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, Amccord: the IP is correct. Please don't remove that tag. It is not there to throw shade on this or that editor, but to alert the reader to possible non-neutral content. In other words, that tag should stay until the content is, by consensus, neutral. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 15:24, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
