Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, OzRattler. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page University of NSW Cricket Club, 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Longhair\talk 10:50, 14 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest ~ Reply

edit

Thank you Longhair,

Not sure how to reply and have been searching on how to - hope this is 'ok'? I am involved with the Club, know the people and have no financial interest nor other possible conflicts. Seeking to improve the information and where possible link to other Wiki pages = eg Michael Slater which too a while for me to learn. Other(s) such as Tim Lang - 1st class player I will add as well. I will look to use the COI tool to ensure I allay any fears of editors and other contributors unless you are confident that there is no COI.

Thanks and happy for further hints and directions to avoid problems / causing concern.

Paid editing is the primary concern when a conflict of interest arises, however you have stated you are not compensated for your edits. A conflict of interest still exists due to your affiliation with the club which may effect your ability to edit the article with a neutral point of view. In this case, editors are recommended to request edits rather than edit the article directly to avoid conflict of interest issues. I hope this helps explain what can be a complex topic to understand, and I thank you for your prompt reply. -- Longhair\talk 11:28, 14 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

COI

edit

Again thhnks Longhair,

Understand your point. Objectivity is king which I appreciate. Information I would seek to post would be factual and based on statistics. In order to help you (and other editors) I have posted a link to Tim Lang's career with UNSWCC from CNSW's MyCricket page on the "Talk page" of the site.

I presume that I still have a COI in your eyes? Not a negative question! I also created a "request for changes" - although in my eyes I have not done that well. I will 'try' the COI template and hope I get that to work better.

Grateful for your attention and direction. Hope I am not causing too much pain or concern.

Suggested way to reduce COI conerns

edit

Hello Longhair,

If you wish, I can send to you (or another) the Club's Annual Report in PDF format - which I believe we have. I know we MUST submit a report to CNSW. That will be the source of information as time goes along. Photos of current facilities - such as DP Fields - I'd like to publish in due course.

Thanks - yet again!
