  Hello, I'm Larry Hockett. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Mablood01. 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. Larry Hockett (Talk) 05:03, 23 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Just Doing My Part

Hello, Larry Hockett. I do not know the kid mentioned I simply heard about him again 3 weeks ago over his flag proposal and thought that it may be a nice contribution to the section about SWKS. Thank you. --Mablood01 (talk) 05:16, 23 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

You seem to have named your account after him. I know you can understand why some people are going to find that confusing. :) Larry Hockett (Talk) 05:19, 23 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hello, I assumed that was your reasoning for the COI message. I now feel the conversation has come to a conclusion. Thank you for the revision of my edit.--Mablood01 (talk) 05:26, 23 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
I feel like the reasoning is solid. Larry Hockett (Talk) 05:37, 23 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
