How do I prove I do not have a conflict of interest? Marcbrookland (talk) 17:48, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I wanted to follow up here. Can you provide clarity where in this page there is any conflict of interest? Only facts, supported by many, many resources, are used. It's also nearly identical in content to other prominent attorneys in Philadelphia and attorneys involved in the Trump trials such as Michael van der Veen, Bruce Castor and David Schoen.

Hello - Following back up if you're able to assist further. I'm unsure how to resolve this issue, or find my original code to edit. Marcbrookland (talk) 12:35, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Marcbrookland. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page William J. Brennan, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• 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. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 04:43, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for that isight, Jalen.

What do I do if these points do not apply to me? I think I'm so confused because I'm unsure how my writing led to any type of conflict of interest - It's all strictly facts about the contributions of the attorney of record regarding the Trump legal proceedings. I thought it was a new-worthy topic, as the other attorneys also have wiki pages mentioning their contributions. To address each point:

- This article is not about myself, my family, friend, colleague, company, organization, client or competitor.

- I do not have a conflict of interest.

- I don't believe I've linked to the organization's website in other articles.

- I believe I've complied with all wiki policies.

- I am not been paid any compensation to write this article.

I'm unsure how to proceed if the alleged policy violations do not seem to apply to me. Are you able to further direct? Marcbrookland (talk) 20:45, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
