Information icon Hello, Magrer. 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 WP:Spam);
  • 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. SpencerT•C 04:00, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More specifically, I appreciate that you have disclosed your COI on your userpage. To propose changes to articles you have conflicts of interest with, such as Overstock.com, go to Talk:Overstock.com, start a new section, and describe the change you would like to make. In this section, include the "{{request edit}}" template so that another editor can review the proposed change. Thus far, you have directly edited the Overstock.com page, so I wanted to make sure that this policy was clear to you. Additionally, please review the above links.

/* April 2020 */ Thank you for all that information SpencerT•. I will make sure to work through this process. My apologies on the edits. I really haven't changed much, just updated to financial information and included the most up to date leadership information and I hope the commnuity agrees that this is relevant and accurate information. All of the information I hope the community will agree on updating is including information on Overstock's work over the past 5 years on the retail front and the blockchain front (which isn't mentioned at all). I will make sure to use the talk section and all appropriate channels for additional changes. Thank you again, Raphael

Thank you. I gave a quick look to the edits on Overstock.com, and I restored some sourced content that you had removed about company history my edit here. Thank you for using the talk page system to request edits, as you did https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jonathan_E._Johnson&diff=prev&oldid=952382696 here]; that is the correct way to do it. I will let an uninvolved editor review that request. It is good that you included sources when proposing most of the changes. Per WP:BFAQ#RULES, verifiability is important: "Content that is added must be published by a reliable source. This means a third-party source - for most content, your company website does not count as a source. You need to avoid original research. This means that information that is included must have been published by someone other than yourself (or your company)." (i.e. not LinkedIn or Overstock itself; Bloomberg can be reliable if it's not just a reposting of a company press release). These FAQ list additional best practices for contributing to Wikipedia with a conflict of interest, and would be helpful to review. Best, SpencerT•C 16:40, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
