Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jonty Wilde. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Clare Lilley, 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. Tacyarg (talk) 16:32, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, thank you and I understand. I don't work at Yorkshire Sculpture Park but I am married to Clare Lilley. I am attempting to edit her job title with no COI ( I am freelance ) - she is as of 2022 the Director not the Director of Programme. My apologies if I have overstepped the mark - it is very difficult to edit wikipedia ( quite rightly so but making it now factually incorrect ). Kind regards, Jonty Jonty Wilde (talk) 19:02, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your reply. Do you have a reference indicating her new title? I'll put it in if so. Tacyarg (talk) 19:39, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Given the obvious conflict of interest, plus the sockpuppetry that has taken place on both the Clare Lilley and Yorkshire Sculpture Park articles, it would be better for you and any other connected party to stay well away from both articles. If you see a deliberate factual error, it would be better to place and edit request on the talk page of the article concerned - see Wikipedia:Edit requests. Any questions don't hesitate to ask. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:02, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
