Managing a conflict of interest edit
Hello, Gd1598. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Aylesbury Grammar School, 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 {{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. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 08:16, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- OK, so I cannot edit the page because I am connected to the organisation, but the page is full of inaccuracies which only really I (or others connected to the organisation) know because I am connected to the organisation. The organisation is a school so hardly a commercial business so I’m not benefiting from editing the page, just trying to ensure the information others read is up to date and accurate.
- So essentially I have to leave the wrong information on the page until a complete stranger decides they will update it….great rules you have. OK, I tried. We’ll just have to leave the page as it is then! What a waste of time! Gd1598 (talk) 08:34, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
