Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Seagull1056. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Peppino D'Agostino, 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, clients, 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#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. —Wasell(T) 🌻🇺🇦 06:45, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Wasell,
- I'm not used to wikipedia and I didn't realize that I'm not allowed to make the changes myself. After erroneously making the changes myself yesterday, you erase all the changes I've made spending hours on my computer.
- I contacted wiki proficiency to help me with the process but they wanted $499 dollars for basic changes and I don't want to pay that amount. It's very frustrating for me because I'm just trying to update my page in order to make it more current. Mind you that the current Peppino D'Agostino wikipedia page hasn't being corrected for over 17 years! In addition to my wrong date of birth (they say that I'm 72 years old- my true age is 66 years), the page is extremely old. In the years following, I've done a lot of projects, and the public should be informed about it. Isn't true information the mission of Wikipedia after all? Even though I now understand what happen with erroneously making my own changes to the site, now what am I supposed to do to update my wikipedia page with true informations? Do you have any helpful tips for me? Thanks for your reply.
