Hello, I'm Swadge2. I noticed that you recently removed content from Paul Viney without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hi Sorry. Just editing my dads page. I will add the comments in the future. 86.134.22.124 (talk) 16:35, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

No worries, the issue was just that you (perhaps inadvertently) removed some citations, but I have restored them now. However, if Viney is your father that raises issue regarding Wikipedia's conflict of interest editing policy. I will add a notice to this talk page now with some information regarding that. Thanks, Swadge2 (talk) 16:40, 3 January 2024 (UTC).

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 86.134.22.124. 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 {{edit COI}} 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. Swadge2 (talk) 16:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
