Conflict of interest policy
[edit]Hello, Burberryjzk89. 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 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. --Hipal (talk) 20:30, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Fair Play
[edit]- Hmm, thanks @Hipal I have just seen this hence, my late reply as I have been busy travelling for work and my business outside of Wikipedia :)
- Interesting you mentioned conflict of interest as its just far from it. I believe in fair judgement for people even though they might be new to certain area of work. All I gathered from the deletion of that page was based on the fact that some of us making comments on there were new to Wikipedia, hence our inputs were not supported and treated unfairly which is a shame. When I reviewed the history on that article that was deleted, I noticed that the Editor who originally created the article's access was blocked, hence he couldn't update and develop the article whilst the deletion conversation was going on which I thought wasn't fair. Every editor on here should have read and understood 'conflict of interest' and Wikipedia rules and regulations and the 'DOs and Donts' so being schooled here on it is some how just ridiculous. The integrity I uphold wouldn't allow me to get involved in any kind of compensation as I joined Wikipedia to create Articles on subjects I believe that are credible enough to have a Wikipedia page and also challenge decisions I think is not considered in right judgment.
- I know what's permitted on Wikipedia and what's not and I wouldn't do anything to jeopardise my editorial status whilst been on Wikipedia and also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publishing or promoting anyone clearly undermines my believe so there's no question on that. Yes, I might be new to Wikipedia for now, but my level of experience and expertise outside of being an editor here helps me to make informed decisions especially when faced with a logical discussion as such that happen on the deletion of that subject.
- I hope you have made a good decision in deleting that account based on your inference but I still don't agree with the reasoning behind the decision. Thanks for your time and I appreciate your heads up. Burberryjzk89 (talk) 12:48, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- The article deletion process requires a great deal of expertise of Wikipedia's policies. Newcomers simply don't have the demonstrated knowledge. The process is regularly abused by people with conflicts of interest. --Hipal (talk) 16:00, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
A lengthy welcome
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.
Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.
If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.
Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.
If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.
If you find yourself in a disagreement with another editor, it's best to discuss the matter on the relevant talk page.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal (talk) 01:13, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
