Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Rolandmedrano. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page TSJ Media, 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:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • 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 WP:Spam);
  • 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. Longhair\talk 15:38, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rolandmedrano. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to TSJ Media, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Rolandmedrano. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Rolandmedrano|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Longhair\talk 16:05, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]


I've not used Wikipedia and are not familiar with is policies. In March of 2019, I acquired TSJMedia's assets, which are 2 radio stations, newspaper and an lease management agreement with a 3rd radio station in Cleveland. As I'm googling TSJMedia, I notied that TSJMedia had information in Wikipedia and decided to updated with La Mega Media, which is my company that acquired the TSJMedia assets. Therefore, I am not a 3rd party getting compensated for the edits and are simply trying to update the information.

Please let me know how best to proceed to ensure compliance with your policies.

Thanks, Roland Medrano
