Possible conflict of interest

edit

  Hello Olaidebanks. 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 Omari Banks, 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 following the 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.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • 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.

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. Harrias talk 11:37, 28 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for your reply. I don't have any specific concern about anything you've done on the article, my message was just to make you aware of Wikipedia's policy. I theorised from your name that may be Bankie Banx personal manager [1], and that you are most likely a family relation of both Bankie Banx and Omari Banks. As I said, this of itself presents no problem, but I thought it best to make you aware of the possible problems, rather than have you stumble into any of them!
