Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Andre Michelle. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Audiotool, 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 article subjects 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 edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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. Uhai (talk) 06:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Uhai, thanks for explaining me the guide-lines. I should have been more careful. Can you point me to a specific term I wrote that triggered your reaction? Andre Michelle (talk) 07:05, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If the guideline is to avoid creating or editing articles about one's affiliations, then the Audiotool page would lack contributors. Many involved in Audiotool also contribute to its article. I apologize if my role complicates matters. I'm ready to remove my contributions if necessary. Andre Michelle (talk) 07:24, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Blogs, especially your own, are not reliable sources. YouTube videos are usually not reliable sources. Please see WP:RS. Many articles on Wikipedia lack contributors but that's okay because there's no deadlines. It's best for a given article to be edited by neutral users with no affiliation with the subject of said article. Uhai (talk) 21:01, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * There are other blog and forum posts about the TR-909 emulation, which led to audiotool's development, but I did not want to list more links, running the risk of shifting attention away from audiotool. Hence I chose my own blog post as the first, original source. The youtube video shows the actual demo version. The reliable sources and contributor requirements feel a bit too idealised to me, but I am still happy to revert my changes, if I overstepped the boundaries.
