Conflict of interest at Marshfield Clinic

edit

  Hello, Weichelt. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Marshfield Clinic, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. 32.218.32.98 (talk) 22:16, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Status and Advice

edit

The article on Lee was only acceptable because I rewrote it. I do not normally have the time to do that, and did this as an exception becauseo f our current initiative in increasing coverage of notable women. Please do not write in such an expansive way again. WP articles are not intended to tell the public what the subject or the subject's press agent would like them to know; they are rather designed to tell the general public what someone might want to know upon hearing of the subject. As a guide for what to include, compare your version of the article with mine--I've been primarily doing biographies of people connected with the academic or business world for many years at Wikipedia, and I know what gets accepted.

As a key matter of style, do not use the title of the person more than once in the article--sometimes use the last name alone, but usually just "she" . Do not unnecessarily repeat the names of organizations: say "the center", "the institute" etc. -- not the lower case-- or just "it" . Learn the way WP articles are named so you can use the name in linking concisely. Do not try to show something is important by saying that some important agency has funded it. Do not try to show its important by thee piling on of many weak references, or those associated with the subject--we just need references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements .

If you repeat this sort of writing, I'll either reduce the article to a single paragraph stub if its really famous--or else put it on course for deletion. DGG ( talk ) 18:18, 26 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

General advice

edit

It appears that you have been almost entirely editing articles about Marshfield Ckinic and its affiliated organizations. It is therfore very possible that you have a conflict of Interest with rspect to them, and I therefore need to alert you to our rules about WP:COI'.

First, if you are an employee of the organization, and this is part of you rduties, it is a financial conflict of interest. For a financial conflict of interes tyou must you if it is a financial conflict of interest, you must declare it on your user page or user talk page,and preferably on the talk page of each relevant article. If instead you are are being paid by the university as press agent or paid editor to write these articles, there are special rules at our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure -- you must declare the details of your relationship.

In addition, you are very strongly advised not to write in article space, but to write new articles through the mechanism at WP:AFD, so the contributions can be reviewed by experienced editors before they are inserted. Similarly, if you add to articles, you should not edit the articles directly, but must suggest the desired edits on the article talk page.

Be careful to write with a WP:NPOV; the article must not sound like a web page or advertisement. It must say not what the organization would like to say, but what a general reader would want to know. All statements must be references from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases. Be particularly careful about writing about both a organization and a subunit of that organization--they are usually best combined into a single article on the parent organization. Be extremely careful about writing articles simultaneously about an organization and its chief executive, on the apparent basis that one will support the other. Be very very exceedingly cautious about putting links to the organization or its people into other articles. All of these are standard promotional techniques, and their net effect will usually be to get everything reduced to one4 single very short article, if not deleted altogether. In order to prevent that, I removed some of the additions that should never have been written. If you restore them, I think I've made clear what will be the consequences. DGG ( talk ) 07:28, 27 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

I see you are continuing to edit on these topics. It would help very much if you would declare if you have any conflict of interest. DGG ( talk ) 17:53, 28 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Further to the above, I notice that you have added material to agriculture where someone with your surname was an author. Please be very careful with any such Conflict of Interest material, as DGG exhorted two years ago. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:08, 18 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
