Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Siouxchief. 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
• 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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:53, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jim, thank you for your message and you don't have to worry I don't know Niall Murphy and the group. I just have an interest in emerging political groups. If you check I also did a page for think32 awhile back too but never got it published which are a separate group also. I was contemplating one for Shared Ireland from sharedireland.com too but I was afraid I was breaking the non newsworthy rule. Ireland's Future and Niall Murphy on the other hand are in the news so I was hopeful I might get my first ever contribution published. Please let me know if I need to do anything else please to progress it. Thanks a lot Siouxchief (talk) 17:20, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your response to my query about conflict of interest. Please read the following regarding writing an article

• you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Most of your text was unsourced, sourced directly to the organisation or sourced to press releases or interviews with representatives of the organisation, when what we need is independent third-party sources, not the organisation talking about itself.
• The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:

1. significant coverage in
2. independent,
3. multiple,
4. reliable,
5. secondary sources.

Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability. You don't tell us, for example, where its offices are, how many staff it employs, where its funding comes from or what it spends

• you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews. Your text was full of policies, missions, values and objectives, and lacking in real facts beyond telling us what the organisation claims to have done. Most of the text is just promoting their views rather than giving us facts, for example Ireland's Future think the Irish Government should take the lead in that work. They say a Citizens’ Assembly is a trusted mechanism to assess public attitudes towards proposals. They are of the opinion that is also the view of many prominent people in Irish civic life and insist the significance of the diversity of these signatories should not be missed. They say it demonstrates a public mood north & south & further afield and it's time for a new national discussion about their shared future in Ireland No facts, just repeating their opinions. Most of the text is the same, just telling us what they think.
• there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
• you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. The article was substantially copied from their website,which is tagged © 2020 Ireland's Future, and therefore isn't free to use here.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. For legal reasons, we do not restore copyright violations Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:32, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

I think I've given up to be honest. Too much hassle. What a shame. Johnjames1001 (talk) 11:22, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
