Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Annesteenkamp1. 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 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 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 12:31, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Request to add the first founded Think Tank in The Netherlands: Public Space Foundation
Dear Wiki-people

I am requesting to add the think tank Public Space Foundation (www.publicspace.eu) to the list of think tanks, as the Public Space Foundation is the first founded think tank in The Netherlands, founded by Steven PM de Waal (PhD).

I get continuously a message from wiki, that I have a conflict of intrest. which I don't have, it's just crazy that a think tank like Public Space Foundation is not mentioned in the list of important think tanks in The Netherlands. (I can also give you a list of think tanks in other countries that are not being mentioned. Meaning: the list needs a drastic update. I therefore request to add Public Space Foundation to the list.

best regards

Anne Steenkamp

 * Please make your request on the talk page of the article where you're requesting the changes be made. That page may be found in the search bar by placing  in front of the page's name. Regards,  Spintendo  17:02, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Dear Spintendo

Little strange as this IS the talk page for the list of think tanks, where I am requesting to add the think tank Public Space Foundation from Utrecht (NL). So I don't understand what you mean bu wrong venue??????

Best regards,

 * Hello Annesteenkamp, the talkpage for the list article is at Talk:List of think tanks (generally speaking, talkpages for articles are always at Talk:article name), if you'd like to request an edit or discuss issues. One more point though, and sorry to be frank, but your claim that you don't have a conflict of interest seems to be false. Apparently you are either a volunteer or an employee of this organization. Either way, in both of these cases you have a clear and undeniable conflict of interest in favor of your organization and should not edit any affected articles or lists. Please read WP:COI for more details. Thank you. A last quick tip, if you'd like to notify another editor, you can add (without the nowiki parts) in your post before you save it. The other editor will then get an automatic notification about your message. Hope this helps a bit. GermanJoe (talk) 13:06, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
