Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Spoonpassport. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page The Raw Story, 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:

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. Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Valleyhollandman -- RoySmith (talk) 17:15, 9 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

I don't believe I've attempted to break any of your rules as outlined above and have disclosed the conflicts I have on the Talk pages of Salon and the Association of Alternative Newsmedia pages. Spoonpassport (talk) 19:25, 9 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
