Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Lesterhuisa. 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest 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. MrOllie (talk) 18:28, 15 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at COSMIC functional size measurement, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:31, 16 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Dear Walter,


Both Frank Vogelezang and me (Lesterhuisa) are volunteers (i.e. unpaid) of COSMIC. I'm member of COSMIC Measurement Practices Committee (MPC). The COmmon Software Measurement International Committee (COSMIC) is an organization of volunteers that has developed the COSMIC Software Measurement method and is still expanding its use to more software domains. All its documentation (Guidelines, Cases, Papers) can be downloaded for free from cosmic-sizing.org.


Please let me know if the issues box can be removed without me being blocked (I'm new to Wikipedia, I make mistakes here and there, I'm sorry for that).

Regards,

Whether paid or unpaid, the behaviour is a conflict of interest. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:25, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
I'll remind you not to edit the article. Please use the conflict of interest guidelines instead. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:06, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
