Thanks for the edits but the conflict of interest guidelines don't give us any wiggle room where it applies to adding external links to site or pages you have control over or input into. It is obviously a link that should be included on the relevant pages so if someone removes it because of the guidelines, I (or another editor), will add it back in - if you did it'd only be removed again and it might make it trickier to get it back in if it gets balcklisted.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Petercoogan. 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 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)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 15:33, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I know. I should have just put it in the talk but I forgot about doing that. I figured someone would see it and reverse it and then maybe follow up on my point and update it. I provided all the info needed to correct it. Petercoogan (talk) 23:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
