Conflict of interest in Wikipedia
[edit]Hi Dolcevikasf. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing, which is mostly about health and medicine. Your edits to date are all about Twist and are promotional. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.
Hello, Dolcevikasf. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- 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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.
Comments and requests
[edit]Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).
Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Twist, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or the like)? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 01:52, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
- Please reply here. Thanks Jytdog (talk) 01:43, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Jytdog my name is Vika and I am trying to edit the accuracy of the article that was posted about the company i work for (Twist Bioscience is my current employer) I am disclosing that I am linking within Wikipedia and also to factual external sources (crunchbase). I am also contributing to other medical science and pharma areas of wikipedia, mostly within the domain of hte companies I previously worked for (medivation, pfizer and genentech). Please let me know if I am doing something incorrectly, thank you.
- Also it took me quite a bit of time to figure out this crunchbase link, and you removed it :) if it is not in violation, would you be able to put it back? thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolcevikasf (talk • contribs) 01:55, 28 November 2017(UTC)
- Thanks for replying! Quick note on the logistics of discussing things on Talk pages, which are essential for everything that happens here. In Talk page discussions, we "thread" comments by indenting - when you reply to someone, you put a colon in front of your comment, which the Wikipedia software will render into an indent when you save your edit; if the other person has indented once, then you indent twice by putting two colons in front of your comment, which the WP software converts into two indents, and when that gets ridiculous you reset back to the margin (or "outdent") by putting this {{od}} in front of your comment. This also allows you to make it clear if you are also responding to something that someone else responded to if there are more than two people in the discussion; in that case you would indent the same amount as the person just above you in the thread. I hope that all makes sense. And at the end of the comment, please "sign" by typing exactly four (not 3 or 5) tildas "~~~~" which the WP software converts into a date stamp and links to your talk and user pages when you save your edit. That is how we know who said what. I know this is insanely archaic and unwieldy, but this is the software environment we have to work on. Sorry about that. Will reply on the substance in a second... Jytdog (talk) 02:06, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- OK, please pause directly editing articles until we work through the conflict of interest management process here on your talk page. Before we go further, would you please confirm that you work in PR for Twist? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 02:09, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, I will pause on editing the articles. Correction - I do not work in PR. I work in digital technology and manage digital platforms / systems for Twist Bioscience. PR is separate, they are not working or editing this article. Is there anything I need to do for COI? Yey I figured the signing part! Dolcevikasf (talk) 02:30, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for replying. Congrats on figuring the signature! :)
- Sorry but your answer is not clear to me. Is part of your job letting people know about Twist and its offerings? Thx. Please be aware that the answer is not going to change what we ask you to do, it just puts your COI in one of two "buckets". Jytdog (talk) 02:33, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the delay. OK, so in Wikipedia you are a "paid editor" with respect to Twist. You also have a conflict of interest. Under the WP:PAID policy of Wikipedia, you were obligated to disclose that, and I appreciate you doing so.
To finish the disclosure piece, would you please add the disclosure to your user page (which is User:Dolcevikasf - a red link, because you haven't written anything there yet). Just something simple like: "I work for Twist Bioscience, managing digital platforms for them; part of my job is making people aware of Twist. I have a conflict of interest with regard to that company and related topics" would be fine. If you want to add anything else there that is relevant to what you want to do in WP feel free to add it, but please don't add anything promotional about the company or yourself (see WP:USERPAGE for guidance if you like).
I added a tag at Talk:Twist Bioscience, so the disclosure is done there -- we ask people with a conflict of interest to disclose both on their userpage, and at the talk pages of articles they work on. Once you disclose on your user page, the disclosure piece of this will be done.
As I noted above, there are two pieces to COI management in WP. The first is disclosure. The second is a form of review, similar to the way papers are reviewed before they publish. This piece may seem a bit strange to you at first, but if you think about it, it will make sense. In Wikipedia, editors can immediately publish their work, with no intervening publisher or standard peer review -- you can just create an article, click save, and voilà there is a new article, and you can go into any article, make changes, click save, and done. No intermediary - no publisher, no "editors" as that term is used in the real world. So the bias that conflicted editors tend to have, can go right into the article. Conflicted editors are also really driven to try to make the article fit with their external interest. If they edit directly, this often leads to big battles with other editors.
What we ask of editors who have a COI or who are paid, and want to work on articles where their COI is relevant, is:
- a) if you want to create an article relevant to a COI you have, create the article as a draft through the WP:AFC process, disclose your COI on the Talk page with the Template:Connected contributor (paid) tag, and then submit the draft article for review (the AfC process sets up a nice big button for you to click when it is ready) so it can be reviewed before it publishes; and
- b) And if you want to change content in any existing article on a topic where you have a COI, we ask you to
- (i) disclose at the Talk page of the article with the Template:Connected contributor (paid) tag, putting it at the bottom of the beige box at the top of the page; and
- (ii) propose content on the Talk page for others to review and implement before it goes live, instead of doing it directly yourself. Just open a new section, put the proposed content there, and just below the header (at the top of the editing window) please the
{{request edit}}
tag to flag it for other editors to review. In general it should be relatively short so that it is not too much review at once. Sometimes editors propose complete rewrites, providing a link to their sandbox for example. This is OK to do but please be aware that it is lot more for volunteers to process and will probably take longer.
By following those "peer review" processes, editors with a COI can contribute where they have a COI, and the integrity of WP can be protected. We get some great contributions that way, when conflicted editors take the time to understand what kinds of proposals are OK under the content policies. (There are good faith paid editors here, who have signed and follow the Wikipedia:Statement on Wikipedia from participating communications firms, and there are "black hat" paid editors here who lie about what they do and really harm Wikipedia).
But understanding the mission, and the policies and guidelines through which we realize the mission, is very important! There are a whole slew of policies and guidelines that govern content and behavior here in Wikipedia. Please see User:Jytdog/How for an overview of what Wikipedia is and is not (we are not a directory or a place to promote anything), and for an overview of the content and behavior policies and guidelines. Learning and following these is very important, and takes time. Please be aware that you have created a Wikipedia account, and this makes you a Wikipedian - you are obligated to pursue Wikipedia's mission first and foremost when you work here, and you are obligated to edit according to the policies and guidelines. Editing Wikipedia is a privilege that is freely offered to all, but the community restricts or completely takes that privilege away from people who will not edit and behave as Wikipedians.
I hope that makes sense to you.
Will you please agree to learn and follow the content and behavioral policies and guidelines, and to follow the peer review processes going forward when you want to work on the Twist article or any article where your COI is relevant? Do let me know, and if anything above doesn't make sense I would be happy to discuss. Best regards Jytdog (talk) 03:13, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for a detailed explanation! I agree and will follow the direction to do the disclosure as well as peer review change process. I can do so tomorrow from desktop, mobile is a bit hard to manage. I also have a few questions re minor edits (for example, I edited the list of products only by adding links to corresponding Wikipedia articles). Is that peer reviewed change that I would propose or make myself? Thank you! Dolcevikasf
- Thanks for your reply and for being willing to work through this stuff. As I am sure you know, the Twist article was created by Julie Saeger Nierenberg whom Twist paid to write it. Julie was unaware of the stuff above, and directly created the article - she did not put it through WP:AFC like she should have. (A mistake - she just didn't know what she was supposed to do). I had started to have the same conversation with her, that I am having with you, but she stopped replying, so I was unable to finish the conversation.
- When working on these COI matters, I generally work through the whole conversation with someone before I turn to work on the actual article. Things generally just go more smoothly when people understand what is going on, and why. So.. I haven't really addressed the Twist article yet and nobody has worked on it yet either - it remains an unreviewed piece of Twist's marketing in Wikipedia.
- Since you are here now, I will go ahead and work it over. It will probably end up looking pretty different than it does now.
- But yes, when you want to see any changes, please propose them on the article Talk page.
- Please make sure that those changes are aimed at Wikipedia's mission -- to provide the public with accepted knowledge -- and that they comply with the policies and guidelines. It takes time to learn - please be patient with yourself and everyone else. Jytdog (talk) 17:22, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, I added the disclosure to my dolcevikasf page, but didnt see whether it appeared on Twist talk page as well. Let me know if I need to add it there separately. Also, I agree abut Julie, she posted the initial article but I can respond on her and my behalf, it is easier for you to work with one person. The objective for the article is to be unbiased and non promotional. I use wikipedia myself quite a bit (for research) and want to be sure it continues to stay a factual and unbiased source of information. Please edit as you see and I will propose changes (only internal linking to relevant scientific articles such as NGS, CRISPR etc) once you are done. Let me know if this completes COI process. Thank you. Dolcevikasf (talk) 00:08, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note. The "paid" disclosure for you, is on the talk page, at the bottom of the big beige/yellow box that is at the top of the talk page.
- About Julie -- she is responsible for herself; you cannot answer for her. But I hear you that your intention is that she won't be involved in the Twist article, on Twist's behalf, in the future.
- Thanks for engaging with this process! I will see you at the Twist article. Please drop me a note if you have any questions along the way. :) Jytdog (talk) 00:19, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- Appreciate it. will you be able to let me know once you completed the edits so that I can propose changes? Dolcevikasf (talk) 01:21, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- Yes! I anticipate doing it this weekend. I like writing about biotech companies so it should be fun. I'm curious to see what you all are up to, where you came from, and where you are going. Jytdog (talk) 02:09, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- You have a fun job! There are a couple of very scientific articles in credible peer reviewed journals. Links are below, just for you, if interested. I think they were not included in references because content of Nature is typically paid, and only available to subscribers.

- Hi [User talk:Jytdog|talk], I was wondering if you had a chance to edit? If so, when will the two disclaimers be removed? It still says advertising. Thank you Dolcevikasf (talk) 01:41, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jytdog (talk) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jytdog wanted to see if you edited the article thank you! Dolcevikasf (talk) 18:35, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, Jytdog, Is it possible to remove one flag since it's been two months since I've disclosed my relationship with Twist and the flag is still there indicating that I didnt respond/disclose? Thank you Dolcevikasf (talk) 16:59, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- Please review the guidance above, about how to edit where you have a conflict of interest. You should not be editing the article directly, right? Jytdog (talk) 18:49, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- i am trying to hyperlink the website in the main company box. Every single company has it hyperlinked. I don’t know where that link went and why you are warning me about “spamming”. Please advice how minor changes are to be made I.e. non content related. Bigger issue - the part about technology is currently inaccurate. How can the changes be proposed? Dolcevikasf (talk) 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I have already spent a bunch of my volunteer time on you and your company. You are getting paid to be here so display at least minimal effort and competence and read the guidance that has been provided to you above. It could not be more clear. If you continue to display this kind of very obvious, very easy to demonstrate negligence, I will request to have you indefinitely blocked.
- You can write nice words here but you-r continued negligence in trying to learn from the information already provided, is actually rude and disdainful. Jytdog (talk) 19:12, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I have read the guidance and am not displaying negligence. Here is what I abide by:

Dolcevikasf (talk) 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- avoid editing or creating articles about company, organization or competitors; - propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template); - avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM); - do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies. What was not clear is that it applies not just to content but to everything I.e. even if I see a typo, I cannot edit. I have to request it. Which is weird because it creates way more work for volunteers. But ok, I get it. I’ll use the request template for everything going forward. Dolcevikasf (talk) 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Disclosure
[edit]I work for Verastem managing digital platforms for the company; part of my job includes making people aware of Verastem. Therefore, I have a potential conflict of interest with regard to that company and related topics. Dolcevikasf (talk)--Dolcevikasf (talk) 21:39, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Verastem
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Verastem requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.publicnow.com/view/EACD1A8D2697D3874DD5BEA6FED8D0DECF197F7F. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Final warning
[edit]You continue to flaunt the paid editing policy and conflict of interest guideline.
If you edit directly about your employer one more time I will seek an indefinite block. By now "I forgot" or "I don't understand" are not acceptable answers. Jytdog (talk) 14:06, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- I added the disclosure on dolcevika talk page. I also had it on the company page, with exact same language. No need for you to go over COI with me again, I'll review and check if I missed any steps and correct. Dolcevikasf (talk) 14:12, 16 August 2018 (UTC).
- Finally, I saw your "to avoid scrutiny" comment - what is that in reference to? The page was created following Wikipedia guidelines on Companies. Plus, all the clinical trial information that you removed in quite a disservice for people who actually try to find this info since clinicaltrials.gov is a vast mess, narrowing this to which ones are in what area provides facts that are helpful. I'll leave it to your discretion as unbiased editor whether to bring that table back or not. Dolcevikasf (talk) 14:19, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- It is common as dirt for bad-faith, scrutiny-evading paid editors to create an article under one name, have it speedy deleted for violating one or more policies, and then re-create it under a variant of the name. You created this as Verastem, it was speedy deleted, and you re-created it under Verastem Oncology.
- Above, I gave you clear, unambiguous guidance about what you should do if you want to create an article, or edit an existing article, as part of your PR work. Jytdog (talk) 14:36, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- I dit NOT was the article to be "speedily deleted" and in fact it was deleted for the wrong reasons. I seriously question all the conflicting info I am getting from wiki editors. At this point, Verastem is referenced all over the place, the article you have in draft has all the facts including negatives about failed studies, and NO color from corp lingo, you also have trial info from the government FDA source. Will you please review, revise and publish anywhere you deem proper? I'd be delighted to have anyone fully unbiased to take this on. Dolcevikasf (talk) 14:47, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- Being combative is an unwise stance. Jytdog (talk) 14:48, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- I am asking you to take this on if you be so kind. I feel that no matter how much I read and follow the rules, I end up making mistakes. So since I have a final warning, I don't want to ever press "edit" button on this article. Will you be able to submit it for review? Please please please? Also, I am in a measly 10% of female editors in bio, so give me a break here OK for diversity sake :) Dolcevikasf (talk) 14:54, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- This is my last reply. You have not come even close to "following the rules" - I explained above that you should put new pages through AfC and suggest changes on the relevant talk page. Your contribs, and those of the IP you have used, show that you have been completely ignoring that.
- The COI management process is not complicated and is clearly explained above and in the relevant policy/guideline documents that have been linked above. You have to care enough about your reputation - and that of your employer -- to try to follow that process.
- You wrote above that you understood the COI management process. So, not caring appears to be the issue here. Jytdog (talk) 15:00, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- I added COI disclosure on both my talk page, and article page. I don't fully understand what AfC. Is is where I place the request? and is the request already there because you moved it? I am seriously not sure about ny NEXT step.Dolcevikasf (talk) 15:09, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- So when you wrote this you were just bullshitting me. I have no tolerance for bullshit and no more time for you. Jytdog (talk) 15:18, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hey, it's been a year, and I've been editing biotech pages here and there with no issues. it is only when I try to get a new page, so you can think whatever you want but there is no BS. I was sure that i followed the guidelines by putting COI disclosures on both created page and my talk page. In any case, I will submit for creation with full disclosures and hope for the best.

@jytdog In regards to "no pipeline" please takke a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juno_Therapeutics and many more. Pipeline is one of the standard sections. Are there rules around that? I've edited multiple pipeline sections for the companies I never worked for to make them accurate and provide sources. Should I not do that?

Dolcevikasf (talk) 06:21, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Verastem Oncology a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Verastem Oncology. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Verastem Oncology, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Jytdog (talk) 06:40, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
