Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Gd1598. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Aylesbury Grammar School, 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:

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. Tacyarg (talk) 08:16, 16 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

OK, so I cannot edit the page because I am connected to the organisation, but the page is full of inaccuracies which only really I (or others connected to the organisation) know because I am connected to the organisation. The organisation is a school so hardly a commercial business so I’m not benefiting from editing the page, just trying to ensure the information others read is up to date and accurate.
So essentially I have to leave the wrong information on the page until a complete stranger decides they will update it….great rules you have. OK, I tried. We’ll just have to leave the page as it is then! What a waste of time! Gd1598 (talk) 08:34, 16 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi, you are very welcome to use the Request edit template as set out above to make requests on the article's Talk page - if you supply references, an editor without a conflict of interest can make the changes. Tacyarg (talk) 13:09, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
