COI declaration

Hello, Deathlessmile1997. 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 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. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:05, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Okay, this is noted. Thank you for the notice. I will do my best to comply with Wikipedia's standards and please let me know if anything is wrong or needs to be adjusted. I (not sure if I have to state my name) am not directly affiliated with Terry Neese, having no communication with her whatsoever, but being part of a Virtual Assistance company (Taskbullet), I have been employed by my client, Judy Lane, her relationship with Ms. Neese I'm not completely sure (but I think she is a strategic consultant to her), to fix hearsay and errors and improve the page with citable information. My client pays Taskbullet and I am paid by Taskbullet. Let me know if this causes an issue for me to edit the page or if I have to do anything.

The purpose is definitely not to advertise or promote, but only to update the page with citable and unbiased information.

I will avoid linking the organization's website in other articles and will do my best to comply with Wiki's content policies.

This is a bit new to me but I have always wanted to contribute to Wikipedia.

Thank you. Deathlessmile1997 (talk) 21:00, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

What you describe does indeed fall under WP:COI and WP:PAID. I've restored the "controversey" section from the article; that material was supported by reliable sources, and as such your "hearsay" argument doesn't hold water. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:06, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Oh okay, I understand. Thank you. If I wanted to make a suggestion for that section, would I add that to the "talk" page and not edit it directly? Deathlessmile1997 (talk) 21:15, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

You're not strictly forbidden from editing it directly, but proposing changes on the talk page is highly recommended. Please follow the above instructions for disclosing your COI. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:35, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Okay, got it. Thanks and appreciate it! Please feel free to let me know if I go against any rules or guidelines. Will follow the guidelines above in disclosing COI, didn't see the link right away! Deathlessmile1997 (talk) 23:08, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Added it to the talk page. Not completely sure if I added the last part correctly. Feel free to let me know if there's anything else I must do. Deathlessmile1997 (talk) 23:22, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

I moved your explanation into the template and removed a couple of things (your question about revealing your name, your employers name, and the sidenote about my suggestion); see change here. No, you do not have to reveal your identity or any other names. If you are only planning to make/suggest edits regarding Terry Neese, the disclosure on Talk:Terry Neese is sufficient for now. If you think you may be tasked with editing other pages, it would probably be a good idea to add a COI template to your userpage as well. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:49, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't think I will be tasked to edit any other pages but I will keep that in mind for the future, thanks! Appreciate your assistance on this. Deathlessmile1997 (talk) 02:53, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
