Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Beckybourke. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:UCC History Society, 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)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
- 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:10, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! My connection to the society is merely that I am researching it and noticed a lack of information on it so am compiling sources. I had noted the UCC Philosophical Society had a wikipedia page and given these two societies are both the eldest of their kind in the university, I thought it apt. Beckybourke (talk) 12:51, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Don't you mean you are the Chairperson of this organisation? Or are you saying that it is purely coincidental that your username is very similar to the Chairperson's name, which was shown in the infobox (although has now been removed)?
- Please just make the COI disclosure, as instructed above. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:02, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Any connections I have to the orgnaisation were removed and what remains is the factual and refererenced (both primary sources and secondary sources, including from notable Irish publications found in the university archives) analysis of what the society contributes to university life to make this easily accessible to students. I am currently conducting a research project on the history of the society as it seemingly (a lot of records have been lost to time) is almost as old as the university itself dating back to 1848. However, I have made the disclosure despite this fact. I have not began my tenure as of yet, this being the summer recess and research season, but for full information I suppose i have added this. There is no promotion or advertisement of any upcoming events or journal launches, everything mentioned is past. Beckybourke (talk) 13:21, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
