Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, JonathanStringerZPG. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page ZPG Ltd, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 14:55, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

How to disclose COI on Talk:ZPG LTD

Hello MarioGom and thank you for your talk message. I'm just going through the bullets in your comment and I am struggling with the following:

• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);

I have adhered to everything else. Was wondering if you could help me to disclose my COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE). JonathanStringerZPG (talk) 23:46, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks, Jon — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonathanStringerZPG (talk • contribs) 16:18, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

• I added the disclosure to the article talk page. Whenever you use the Template:Request edit to request a change, you don't need further disclosure, since the template already includes some text about it. Other than that, since the company is included in your username, I don't think there is a chance for anyone missing.
• I assume you do this as part of your job, is that correct? If it is, then it is considered paid editing. The rules are the same, but you should also include Template:Paid in your user page (User:JonathanStringerZPG). For example: {{paid|employer=[[ZPG Ltd]]}}.
• Whenever you post something in a talk page, you should sign your comments (see Wikipedia:Signatures). This can be done by adding --~~~~ at the end of the comment, which is replced by your signature. There is also a button as a shortcut for this (more info in the link). --MarioGom (talk) 17:44, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

All updated. Will continue my WikiMastering! Thanks again. Jon
