Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, BaseballLover334. 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);
• 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.

To be clear, you did the right thing by posting at the BLP noticeboard. This message is to provide some additional guidance. Also, there is no need to use your real name. If you have questions, you can ask the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 17:22, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

Thanks for your professional manner with your edits. We're so used to dealing with problematic editors, that it's a real treat to work with an editor who is so competent and respectful of Wikipedia's policies. Best wishes and keep up the good work! Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Indeed! What a pleasure to see a real pro managing their COI in the proper manner. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 16:54, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
