Managing a conflict of interest
edit
Hello, TTTal. 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, 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. RegentsPark (comment) 21:19, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hi. You need to declare your relationship with the andipage gallery if you wish to continue editing on wikipedia. Also, your addition of links to that gallery as citations is a form of reference spamming. Please stop doing that. You are welcome to add content about art but please use citations other than that particular gallery. Thank you. --RegentsPark (comment) 21:26, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Dear Regentspark, thank you for your message. I found the gallery online and that they have comprehensive information on a range of artists. Happy to contribute using a wider range of citations going foroward. Thank you TTTal (talk) 10:43, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- The issue is that all your edits are adding a link to that site as a citation. As you can imagine, the optics are not good. Add also that a gallery is not the most reliable of sources for art (they are trying to sell the stuff after all). Perhaps you should branch out a bit and not use the andipage gallery as a source going forward. RegentsPark (comment) 20:34, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Dear Regentspark,
- Thank you for your suggestion. I think that all makes sense and happy to branch out as you suggest. TTTal (talk) 16:24, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
