Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Bnontn89. 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 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#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. MrOllie (talk) 18:46, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

I am sorry if I did not reply on this page where you wrote.

As a person that works in the field on infrastructure inspection by uavs I had thought that a reference to a real example was welcomed. I agree with you if you suggest me that other references are also possible but why being me an author of a reference make me automatically rejected from this kind of contribution? I agree with you that information should be free from advertising and self-interest and that wikipedia is not the place to advertise. Not having read a single reference to a work on inspections I thought I would add my own, perhaps breaking some wikipedia rules. But then are we sure that the multiple citations of some authors in the UAV article are not advertising? What are the criteria to allow some citations and not other?

Thank you for your time and consideration

If you have questions on Wikipedia editing or the COI policy in general please ask them at WP:TEAHOUSE. MrOllie (talk) 11:44, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice, I will ask there more info about. However, you rejected my contribution so I assume you know about this policy. Could you give me an answer, please?

Thanks again for your patience with a user with little experience.
