Managing a conflict of interest
editInformation icon Hello, JWvT19. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Flipit NZ, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Logical Cowboy (talk) 01:46, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi there,
I saw your message and didn't know I wasn't suppossed to write regarding own companies and wasn't up to tdate that this wasn't the plan. How can we suggest to being added? A lot of companies who do exactly the same are on wikipedia, so i think it should be possible. Furthermore someone linked my account to another account of someone who is newzealand123. I seriously have no clue who this is and why this connection is made. And therefore I'm banned?
Would love to hear from you how to do it better next time.
Best,
Jan Willem
Reply Someone paid Newzealand123 on an external website to create an article. Does that sound familiar? Problem is, she is not allowed to contribute here. Most of her articles get deleted, after her clients have paid her. Some business model. Now who are you? You may be Newzealand123, pretending to be someone else--she does that a lot. Or you may be someone working with her. In either case this is block evasion, see WP:EVASION. As for "next time," please read WP:NOTADVERTISING amd WP:COI.

Hi, well in that case I can help you. Indeed I paid her to get help with writing an article because I can't work with the RTF format thing. I am Jan Willem van Tilburg, Dutch, working for Flipit.com. That's why we wanted an article about it. This is the specific platform where she's offering to help out: https://www.fiverr.com/wikihelp.
So is there any other possibility to get on wikipedia or is it just being patient until someone else creates it for us who is completely objective?
Best,
And thanks for your reply. I think you can see based on my IP that I'm indeed Dutch and not newzealand123.
