Managing a conflict of interest edit
Hello, AM13prime. 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, clients, 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 Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- 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. Specifically, do you have an external relationship with Gaétan de Rassenfosse? Virtually all your contributions are adding references to papers he's an author on. JaggedHamster (talk) 10:51, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
How to Declare a COI edit
I think knowing de Rassenfosse is ambiguous as far as COIs go, but given how many of his works you add, it's worth adding a COI notice to protect him from any allegations of promoting his own work. Plus, it helps make sure that everything you're adding has encyclopedic value; I know I'd probably look favorably upon one of my advisor's or old professor's work, so declaring a COI is a good way of making sure that it appears in the most appropriate places.
The two ways I'd recommend are: 1) Make a user page, and add to it the template: {{Connected contributor|User1=Your username |U1-declared=yes| U1-otherlinks=(Optional) Insert relevant affiliations, disclosures, article drafts or diffs showing COI contributions.}} with your details filled in. This is a good general declaration. 2) I'd also state, in every edit request concerning de Rassenfosse, "I have a COI with de Rassenfosse. (See my userpage.)" Between those two, I can't imagine anyone would call you an undisclosed COI editor. They still may decline to include some of the references you provide, which is unfortunate, but you'd be doing everything right.
I hope this helps, and thanks for your additions to the price elasticity article! EducatedRedneck (talk) 17:10, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
