  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Linda Kaplan Thaler. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Pkostiuk. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Linda Kaplan Thaler, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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 COI 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 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. Theroadislong (talk) 21:36, 5 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

COI Disclosure

edit

I am Linda Kaplan Thaler's Executive Assistant. She has asked that I update her wiki page. I have done so to the best of my ability in a neutral voice. It is not my intention to violate any existing Wikipedia protocols. Thank you Pkostiuk (talk) 21:48, 5 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for that very complete disclosure, Pkostiuk, and welcome to Wikipedia! Since you edit the article as part of your job, you must abide by our guidelines for paid editing. Please click on that link and read. As you can see, you need to make the disclosure also on your userpage, on the article's talkpage, and whenever you discuss the topic. Also, you are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly; instead, please propose any changes either on article talk or (especially if article talk doesn't get much volunteer input) on the conflict of interest noticeboard. If you have any questions about navigating this kind of editing, you're very welcome to ask on my talkpage. Good luck! Bishonen | talk 22:06, 5 March 2018 (UTC).Reply
