Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Mykonosbiennale. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Mykonos Biennale, 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. Thank you. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contribs)} 00:40, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

There is no conflict of interest. This wiki entry is for an international art festival. I, who works for the festival, was adding the artistic of teh founder statement for next years festival I will also be adding the program in the next few weeks. The content had no opinions, or qualitative statements just an artistic statement that sets the theme of each festival followed by factual information on the events. I'm reverting your deletes.

Are you kidding me? You literally cannot write about yourself. It's in the rules. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contribs)} 00:55, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

I do not see any COI.

I'm not a paid editor,

I'm not writing about myself, nor family, nor any friends, nor my organization, nor my clients, nor competitors.

I'm trying to summarize, inform, and reference and definitely not promote, whitewash, or sell.

I'm programmer at the Royal Bank of Canada and have never exhibited or performed at the festival. But I have volunteed to help. The festival which is non-profit and takes no money from its participants.

I'm just updating the content, but will happy to take advice from you how to do so. I've read the rules, and I do not see any COI.

Please can you revert the page back to my change.

Thanks you Mykonosbiennale (talk) 01:21, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

You said that you work for the festival, which pretty much means that you do have a conflict of interest. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 01:26, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

>"I, who works for the festival"

>"I'm not writing about my organization"

which is it??? LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contribs)} 01:26, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

I work for Royal Bank of Canada, so I'm not writing about my organization (which is not RBC either). The Mykonos biennale is a greek Non for profit. I'm just a volunteer for the festival so yes I do "work" as in jobs for the festival such as edits to their web page or other media, or collect material or translate for them. But I'm not paid and not on the staff etc. Again none of this is paid. So yes they know about these edits. Is that a COI? If it is I didn't realize.

If the page can't be kept up yo date it's sad. The festival has shown hundreds of artists, performers and short movies since 2013 and so it is part of our (world) culture heritage. If I've made a mistake it was in innocence and with good intent. Maybe can you advise me on how to move forward? Mykonosbiennale (talk) 01:52, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

• To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
• If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. 

Thank you. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 02:23, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm making this a "soft" block—that is to say, you can just create a new account, or can have this account renamed and I'm willing to unblock—but will warn you that if you continue to make edits to the Mykonos Biennale page like you've made, you may be blocked for promotional editing, and that would be a "hard" block. It sounds like you do have a conflict of interest—not a massive one, but still one—and I would strongly advise you to not make any substantial edits directly to the article, and rather to request edits on its talk page. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 02:27, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
