Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Noxiousnightbird. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Georgie Aldous, 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), including links or details of reliable sources that support 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Belbury (talk) 10:55, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Belbury, I can confirm that I do not hold any affiliations with the subject Georgie Aldous. I am an avid writer and am making changes to Aldous’ page to make it the best grade it can be. May I ask what I added to make it be marked as a COI so I can remove it? Noxiousnightbird (talk) 12:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying! Nothing has been "marked", I just wanted to make you aware of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, in case you were representing Aldous in some way. Belbury (talk) 12:49, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Belbury, I appreciate you making me aware of the guidelines. Noxiousnightbird (talk) 09:31, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
