Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Josiah Nterful. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Emmanuel Samba Zumakpeh, 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 for your message on my Talk page. Please see the above guidance about conflict of interest. Tacyarg (talk) 08:09, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please follow the guidance above rather than adding unreferenced information to this article. Tacyarg (talk) 20:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand; I will add references. Thank you. Josiah Nterful (talk) 13:04, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 17:17, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Tacyarg, thank you for the information. However, I sincerely want you to know that I added a section to Mr. Zumakpeh’s biography because the previous information is not entirely factual about him. I am sure you can attest that I only touched the “Early life and Education” part, the date of birth, successor and predecessor because I have read about him and know the actual information regarding those parts. There are parts I never touched because my intention is just to contribute for us to collaboratively provide the accurate information about Mr. Zumakpeh.

Again, I am sure you will attest that my words are very objective and the references I have provided are neutral. The are from neutral and independent sites like pulse.com and modernghama.com Josiah Nterful (talk) 17:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tacyarg, currently, what is actually your problem? I have said that the information you havw provided about Mr. Zumakpeh is not entirely accurate. So, I have just added section to help make it accurate. One significant example is the date of birth. I have also provided references from reliable sources to back what I said, and have not breached any principle of Wikipedia this time. Please, allow me and let us stop this back and forth thing.

Hi, your most recent edits were unsourced and have been reverted by another editor with that comment. Please follow the conflict of interest policy and request changes on the article's Talk page, as described in the guidance above. Tacyarg (talk) 07:29, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is important to state that, I do not have a conflict of interest. I just added a section to help make Mr. Zumakpeh’s biography accurate. Josiah Nterful (talk) 21:44, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you said on my Talk page "I am currently in touch with him". Tacyarg (talk) 22:19, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But being in touch with him does not generate a conflict of interest. I wanted to seek for clarification, so I traced him to have an engagement.

I cannot understand why you are too worried about me helping to provide accurate information about the said man, even though what you have provided is not entirely true. I have worked on all the concerns you raised regarding my post, yet you cannot admit to let us collaborate and update wikipedia with accurate information. I think you should be glad that someone is helping to make your article very factual, Tacyarg. Josiah Nterful (talk) 10:01, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want, I can give you the appropriate information about the particular areas you had it wrong for you to update the page yourself. Josiah Nterful (talk) 10:15, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please, let us do this amicably to ensure an accurate information rather than engaging in an unfriendly banter.

Thank you. Josiah Nterful (talk) 10:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if you do not have a conflict of interest, you are welcome to update the page yourself as long as you write neutrally and reference any changes you make. You have not been adding references - referencing for beginners will help. Tacyarg (talk) 10:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Tacyarg. Josiah Nterful (talk) 11:18, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, being in touch with him in this context is a conflict of interest. You also refer to him "Mr. Zumakpeh" which implies he is your client of some sort. Please read WP:UPE if you are being compensated, directly or indirectly, for your edits. Please make sure to disclose your COI appropriately before making any more edits, and consider using edit requests instead of directly editing the article. Thank you.
