About Kit de Waal

edit

Hey Kwraikarn! Thank you for writing the article. Every article is a small step to building the encyclopaedia. :) One important thing in Wikipedia is to provide citations so that information can be verified. It would be great if you could add them to the article. If you need help, you can reply here! --Lemongirl942 (talk) 15:55, 16 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Kwraikarn. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Kit de Waal, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Lemongirl942 (talk) 20:20, 17 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Discussion about Conflict of Interest

edit

Hi Kwraikarn. Thank you for writing the article Kit de Waal. I work on conflict of interest issues on Wikipedia. You editing seems to suggest that you might be related to "Kit de Waal" in some way. Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with "Kit de Waal"? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. Please reply here! Thank you. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 20:26, 17 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Lemongirl942, I'm Kit de Waal's sister. She asked me to create the page. I hope that's OK. If not, I'm happy to remove it. I was just doing it as a favour.
