Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, GFGCCD. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Gulf Air, 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. miranda ^:3 06:51, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a place for you to advertise your company. miranda ^:3 06:53, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Dear Miranda,

Hope this finds you safe and well.

Thank you for the above pointers, it is greatly appreciated.

Can you kindly guide me in how i can go about updating the page whilst adhering to wiki's regulations?

Moreover, i am a digital communications officer at Gulf Air Group Holding, the holding company that gulf air belongs to. We are the Communications department responsible of all gulfair's communications, therefore, we've updated the page according to the latest company profile we have regarding Gulf Air.

If any of what has been posted on the page goes against Wiki's regulations, please do point them out to rectify them and fix the issue.

Frankly, you should not be editing that page. I've reverted the entire article to the state it was before your edits. If there's something that must be updated, you should ask for the edit to be made on the article's Talk page.

Gulf Air has no say in what is on their article, however, as this is an encyclopedia, not your company's website. It should not be used for any promotional purposes at all, and should be written entirely from a neutral point of view. miranda ^:3 07:05, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Dear Miranda,

Thank you for the above clarification, it is clear now.

I ultimately thought that we are free to edit the page as we wished and that it would be checked for language/inaccurate information. However, the purpose of wikipedia has been clear now and the misuse of the platform won't happen again.

Moreover, in the case where we'd like to have some information updated on the page, should i proceed with proposing the changes on the talk page? or is there any other way of going on about it?

Dear Miranda and team,

Kindly requesting your support on the best way to move forward in updating some of the out-dated information on Gulf Air's page.

Please advice.

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
• Provide a new username.

To do this, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page.
