Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Williamfleitchathens. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Will Leitch, 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. Longhair\talk 23:12, 13 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Totally makes sense. I really just wanted to update and verify information on the page: I'm not trying to promote anything. Do you have a suggestion on the best way for the subject of a page to update and correct information on the page? I trust your judgment and do not want to disrespect any of the great and invaluable work you and other Wiki editors have been doing for years now. Thank you!

Hello and thank you for your reply. The best way forward would be to request edits via the article talk page. You'll steer well clear of any conflict of interest issues then that may arise. -- Longhair\talk 23:22, 13 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
You got it. I'll do that now. Thank you, and best to you and yours. Williamfleitchathens (talk) 23:23, 13 July 2021 (UTC) williamfleitchathensReply
