Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Aaronj66. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Aaron James Sorensen, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the 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 take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. ☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 04:35, 30 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

This account and several others are stale, but appear to be a COI sockdrawer

  Administrator note: All are WP:SPAs. Started autobio, article about his band, and posted selfies (see deleted contribs). Pattern of user is to create a new SPA for new WP:COI, self-promotional edits. Starting the documentation for if and when a current, or returning, account crops up. - CorbieVreccan 21:52, 31 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
