Managing a conflict of interest
edit
Hello, Ronaldmshapiro. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Ronald M. Shapiro, 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. SparklyNights 17:31, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

- That's not allowed, please read Wikipedia's WP:OWNERSHIP policy. Your page is not "yours", it belongs to Wikipedia and can be edited by any user on this website. If you pay anyone to edit your article without following our policies, you will both get banned from editing on this website (possibly forever). SparklyNights 21:08, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
