Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, WALIS-Chair. 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. JarrahTree 00:51, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Please

Understand we always welcome new editors - but with user names that do not disclose things like your claimed position - it is well worth the effort to read the message above... thanks JarrahTree 00:53, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

The article was started by someone with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:WALISoffice

some time ago.

It would be really great if someone at WALIS had the courtesy to try to reach out and try to understand how wikipedia works. JarrahTree 00:59, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
