 * After the first rejection I took away whole sections about the private life of Paulo Teixiera as I didn't have references for the facts. I am a long time sports journalist and a personal friend of Teixeira, that's how I know all the facts about his life. The biography of course suffered because of this and I concentrated on the very interesting affairs that he has been involved in, regardins training compensation and age fraud in football. Those affairs are certainly not covered anywhere else on Wikipedia. Agent2022 (talk) 14:33, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are, as you say, not Teixeira himself but a friend of his, then you will need to make a formal conflict of interest (COI) declaration; I will post a message below with instructions. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:41, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Agent2022. 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 request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:42, 17 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Yes, I know Paulo Teixeira, but my reason for writing about him is that, as a retired sports journalist, I find both his personal story and his professional struggles with various clubs and FIFA very interesting to the general public. As I am not getting paid or in any way benefitting for writing this, I am not sure how I should declare what you call a conflict of interest. Agent2022 (talk) 15:44, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, you must declare your COI, which exists regardless of whether you are getting paid or not (paid editing is only one type of COI, and declaring that is a separate matter. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I have two questions: can I put the biographical material about Teixeira, which I took away, because I had no references, back in? The reference I quite simple interviews with the man himself, done by me.
 * The second question is HOW do I declare conflict of interest? Agent2022 (talk) 03:46, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * No, you cannot put in anything that cannot be referenced to a reliable, published source. I assume your interview with this person hasn't been published?
 * As to how you disclose your COI, there is a link in the above message, at the end of the third bullet point ('disclose') which tells you how. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 04:43, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗ plicit  13:22, 4 April 2023 (UTC)


 * This was a nightmare from the start. I tried to write a neutral presentation of a person, but I got turned down at every at every turn of the road. Never again. Agent2022 (talk) 04:03, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
