Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, S at Beyond. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Beyond Meat, 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 Wikipedia: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. Zefr (talk) 16:19, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hi S at Beyond, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I wanted to give you some unsolicited advice on approaching edits to Beyond Meat with your conflict of interest. You are proposing some drastic rewriting and editing of the article all at once, and that is not likely to yield results in your favor. I recommend proposing smaller changes that are less controversial–get the changes that are not questionable out of the way first. Because Wikipedia is edited by so many, its nature is that articles change bit by bit over time. Sometimes articles have large portions rewritten, but that is normally done by very experienced editors who don't have a conflict of interest. You're more likely to yield results if you request smaller changes with thorougher explanations.

Anyways, I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Our intro page provides helpful information for new users—please feel free to check it out. If you have any questions, you can get help from experienced editors at the Teahouse. ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 05:24, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Beyond Meat, you may be blocked from editing. You are persuading other editors to write promotional content for your employer. You should not be editing this article or its talk page. Zefr (talk) 01:06, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zefr, I am genuinely confused by your post. As far as I know, I am adhering closely to the WP:PE guidelines, and any edits that are implemented are done so by other editors after close examination, discussion and changes. I have not, and have no intention, of editing the page myself, and am certainly not "persuading other editors to write promotional content". S at Beyond (talk) 23:28, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
