Possible conflict of interest in your edits to Ioneer

Hello LithiumBoronNV and welcome to Wikipedia as it seems no one has welcomed you before now.

I'm getting in touch because I'm concerned that you likely have an undeclared conflict of interest that is reflected in your edits to the page Ioneer. You should read the Wikipedia conflict of interest policy to understand what's allowed and what's not, and how to declare this conflict of interest. In addition, it seems likely that your account meets Wikipedia's definition of a single-purpose account, which is also a problem.

From what I can tell, the only contributions you have made to the encyclopedia have been 12 edits to the Ioneer page. As Ioneer is the only company developing a Lithium–Boron operation in Nevada and your username is literally "LithiumBoronNV", I strongly suspect that you are either an officer, employee or investor with Ioneer or someone working on their behalf, any of which would qualify as a conflict of interest. The fact that you have chosen only to edit this one article is where the single-purpose account guidelines come in. And, even if the edits had been made by an unaffiliated person, they fail Wikipedia's requirement to adopt a neutral point of view in several respects.

Please note that the above policies are not dependent on whether you are being paid to make these edits, but if you are a paid editor that would be another area of conflict with Wikipedia guidelines.

When you read this comment, please reply here to provide context on your edits and any conflict of interest. This also helps me know that you do want to engage and address these issues. Please also real all the guidelines I have linked above and make whatever changes are needed to comply with Wikipedia policy. In the meantime, I may well try to improve the Ioneer article so that it better reflects the encyclopedia's standards. It's possible that you will decide to ignore my requests. In that case, I may choose to pursue this with the Wikipedia conflict of interest noticeboard, which could result in your account being blocked.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Rupert Clayton (talk) 23:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
