Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Rman1998. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page European Boxing Confederation, 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:

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. Bbb23 (talk) 15:39, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bbb23, I am working alongside the Secretary General of the European Boxing Confederation (EUBC), Ria Ramnarine, to edit the European Boxing Confederation's Wikipedia page. The edits made are of utmost importance and comply with the wishes of the EUBC. Rman1998 (talk) 16:38, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
User:Rman1998, you may have a misunderstanding of our purpose. Wikipedia is not a brochure for your notable organization. While connected editors are welcome to make significant & substantive contributions on talk pages by providing reliable sources of which you may be aware, Wikipedia does not take dictation from any notable person, organization or other subject. We commonly write articles based on found and presented reliable sources. You are welcome to make assertions on Talk:European Boxing Confederation. BusterD (talk) 16:47, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Further to this, my intention is not to promote the organisation, but rather to provide important and detailed information about the structure, function and roots of the EUBC. Rman1998 (talk) 16:48, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please follow the procedures in the notice above. You must declare your conflict of interest on your userpage. You must not edit the article directly. Instead, you must propose changes to the article on the article Talk page. If you decide to propose changes, I urge you to put forth small changes. Otherwise, it is unlikely that editors will evaluate your proposals.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:52, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So why do other sporting organisations have such extensive Wikipedia pages? You are not allowing me to add accurate information. Rman1998 (talk) 16:59, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Other sporting organizations have had pages created and developed about them because some unconnected person created and developed the page around found and presented reliable sources. Those editors weren't in a position to choose between their loyalty to their employer and Wikipedia's terms of service. BusterD (talk) 17:06, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As wikipedians, we appreciate your self-disclosure and willingness to work within our pillars, policies and guidelines. I'm going to send you a welcome message so you can get a better idea of the new user experience. Because many people do attempt to use our platform for promotion, wikipedians are appropriately wary of such edits when we see them. For now, if you wanted to see changes in the article, you might try creating a new section on the article's talk page saying precisely what you'd like to see and provide some sourcing (your own company's website might suffice in this case). The promotional tone of your previous contribution is not acceptable phrasing. Wikipedia is not designed to be the yellow pages. BusterD (talk) 17:00, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Rman1998, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!
