Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, WRD2030. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Spencer Ackerman, 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. Loksmythe (talk) 03:22, 22 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

I have no conflict of interest with the subject of the article. I have no connection to the subject in any way, shape, or form.WRD2030 (talk) 22:06, 25 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Have you ever edited on Wikipedia under another account? You are clearly not a novice editor. Loksmythe (talk) 23:09, 25 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
No, I have not edited under another account. I regularly use and consult Wikipedia for a variety of purposes and have done so for a number of years. I also studied the guides on how to write an article. WRD2030 (talk) 23:32, 25 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of aircraft of World War II, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hawker. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
