Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Curtisdickman. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Curtis Dickman, 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:

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. jp×g 22:23, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Doc, why don't you just open a COI edit request on the talk page for your article? I would be glad to perform the edits for you if you're adding stuff with citations to reliable sources -- editing it yourself is probably just going to get you blocked and reverted. jp×g 22:43, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you Kj Cheetham. I didn't realize the restriction and I regret violating the policy. My page has been dormant for a long time and I wanted to add facts about my career and life that are important. I was planning on adding reliable sources of the facts after I added the content, but it was removed before I had an opportunity to revise it.
    I will add a WP:COI and propose requested edits to the article talk page rather than making them myself. I appreciate the advice. Curtisdickman (talk) 15:59, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    thank you. I appreciate your offer to help and will submit a COI edit request. Curtisdickman (talk) 16:04, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your understanding. The information is still in the Revision history if you need to consult it, but large lists of publications are generally not suitable for Wikipedia even if referenced for instance. I tend to recommend around 5-10 max of selected publications on articles. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:02, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
