Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, ACHQINTERN. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Alan Cumming, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:57, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Alan Cumming
Wikipedia works according to neutral tone text, supported by reliable sources- saying "I work for him, therefore I know it to be true" is not verificable, and so not a reliable source. His own website is a primary source, so should be used sparingly, and only to the exact page with the information, not a link to the front page of his website.

Due to your conflict of interest, you should not be directly editing this article, but should instead suggest changes at the article talkpage. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:00, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Alan Cumming. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:24, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
