Hello, BringthePaine. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.
Final request. Please review the policy and disclose whether any of the provisions apply to you. There is no requirement for consensus on talk. The burden would be on a COI editor to disclose when asked. SPECIFICO talk 23:02, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- I have no COI. This allegation is completely unsubstantiated.BringthePaine (talk) 23:29, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Who said the tag applied to you?? Methinks...
- I'm going to replace the tag now, and I advise you not to remove it again.
I'm going to ask you to undo your removal of the COI tag I placed on the article. If you don't understand how these things work, please read the documentation at WP:COI and WP:PAID. Thanks. SPECIFICO talk 22:26, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- You've provided no evidence or support for the tag on the article's talk page.BringthePaine (talk) 22:35, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
