Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi Mandeep per your comment here you are what we call a "paid editor" here in Wikipedia. I am providing you formal notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Wikipedia's Terms of Use and will have some comments and questions for you below.

Hello, MandeepThandi. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Comments and questions

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. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it is not "social media" and it is not a vehicle for promotion - see WP:PROMO, which is policy.

Briefly, conflict of interest is managed in Wikipedia in two steps: disclosure of the conflict, and a form of peer review.

Disclosure first: you have already disclosed your relationship to RB on Doc James' Talk page. To make that disclosure complete, we need two things. The first is to make the disclosure on your User page, (here: User:MandeepThandi) of the relationship (like: "I am the global digital manager for Reckitt Benckiser, a pharmaceutical company that owns the Gaviscon, Nurofen and Strepsils brands.") Second, you should make sure that you disclose your COI on the Talk pages of articles you want to discuss, where the COI is present. Would you please add the disclosure to your user page?

Peer review step. What we ask editors with a COI to do, is offer suggestions on the Talk page for others to review instead of directly editing the article. Going forward, please do not directly edit articles where you have a COI, but rather offer suggestions at the article's Talk page. You can do that easily - and provide notice to the community of your request - by using the "edit request" function as described in the conflict of interest guideline. I made that easy for you by adding a section to the beige box at the top of the Talk page - there is a link at "click here" in that section -- if you click that, the Wikipedia software will automatically format a section in which you can make your request. Would you please do that going forward?

I am happy to talk, if you have any questions or want to discuss anything, you can write them below. I will see them, as I am "watching" this page. Best regards, Jytdog (talk) 13:28, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
