Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Rstacey86. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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 WP:Spam);
  • 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. MrOllie (talk) 13:27, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I thought I followed the guidelines. How do I just get someone else to write this data for me ? The information is factual. I refferenced third party info and everything as requested.

Content and references edit

Content not supported by the following reference is a common failing of Wikipedia. Sometimes this is the consequence of multiple editors amending text over time without bothering to check the ref. A proper response can be finding a better ref, which is preferred to deleting the content because of a wrong ref (that assumes the content is true). Separately, being an expert is not sufficient. All content must be verified by published references from reliable sources. Good luck with your editing. David notMD (talk) 20:07, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
