Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, GaryPBell66. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page James Bell (footballer, born 1883), 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 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. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) (Stupidity by me) 20:06, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi GaryPBell66! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

I made some minor edits to the substantive update I made. The person is question is my deceased grandfather so I only added facts which I could validate. Never mind. I will probably give up as it took me 3 hours to get the page updated with photos added. GaryPBell66 (talk) 20:24, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
