Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Microland. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you.

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Microland, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Swadge2 (talk) 08:51, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Ssingh275. 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. Aspening (talk) 05:26, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Aspening for the information. I am an IT enthusiast and new to the space of Wikipedia. I want to understand better how does a COI work and how it can be removed for an entity, organization or person. Repeated attempts to clarify this on a certain page has been met with suspicion and no solid reason as to why a COI template is there. Is this only on the discretion and comprehension of editors and is there not a valid reason or proof why a page should have a template. I have abided by the guidelines and procedure to discuss the removal but the responses are not based on an objective view of the matter.
