Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Museyroom. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Joanne Harris, 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
• 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. Theroadislong (talk) 19:03, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Theroadislong. Thank you for flagging this.

I do not have any affiliation with the subject of the page, although as a reader I am aware of her work. My aim was to bring balance to what read as an oddly rambling and irrelevant section that had been given almost as much airtime as the subject's publication history.

Do you need anything more from me to verify that I have no conflict of interest here?

Thanks, Museyroom. Museyroom (talk) 19:20, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

You might be better advised discussing any edits on the talk page first, because your edit removed extremely well sourced content. See Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Theroadislong (talk) 19:25, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks - I'll do that. I hadn't realised there was so much history to this particular page but visited Talk after my edit was so swiftly reverted and saw that passage in particular had been the subject of debate. I'll raise it there when I can figure out the best way to highlight it! It might be well-sourced, but it is out of place. Museyroom (talk) 19:38, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
