[edit]
Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Geoff Moore without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I have restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, Mfaccount. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Geoff Moore, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
- instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Based on your admission that you are Geoff Moore's manager I suggest you do not directly edit the article If you would like to make any changes to it, please make edit requests on the talk page. The reasons are twofold.
- I do not believe that you can edit the subject without injecting fluff and unreferenced content. Those go directly against the conflict of interest guidelines.
- You have no clue how to write. Your recent edits introduced bad formatting and other problems against various manuals of style.
I usually do not have any problems with closely connected editors working on articles of the subject with whom they're connected, but I do have problems when it's not done to improve wikipedia and only done to promote the subject. When it's done poorly, that's a problem of a different calibre. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:22, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
