Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, EnergyRatingIndex. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Home Energy Rating, 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. Kleuske (talk) 18:03, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Kleuske - understood. I know could be considered an "industry insider", but I run my edits against a variety of perspectives to remove bias before submitting them. Thanks for the message. EnergyRatingIndex (talk) 18:07, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

It does not quite come across that way. Kleuske (talk) 18:08, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Kleuske - nothing I've edited is factually incorrect. I reference the exact standards and languages from publicly available sources (incl. organization websites). Unfortunately, building science related pages have been horribly kept up with. For instance: the Kansas Building Science Institute page. That organization is out of the training business from my understanding, yet it remains a stub rather than being deleted. EnergyRatingIndex (talk) 18:19, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
