Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, BarryLTX. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Moon Pie, 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)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
 * 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. Aoidh (talk) 22:47, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * The section I’ve added about the Moon Pie is not advertising. It was a one time event that won’t happen again. I don’t understand, based on what was written, is in any sort of way a violation. Can I please get some help as to what we can do to have this section added? BarryLTX (talk) 03:33, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The issue with the content is not whether the text is advertising, but that in the context of the article Moon Pie, the Irving event is WP:UNDUE, with minimal local coverage and mostly copies of press releases mentioning the event. The text is also promotionally worded, whether or not it is being added with the intent to promote the city of Irving. - Aoidh (talk) 04:55, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I did not post a press release. I have clips to more news coverage if I need to add that. It’s not a promotion for the city of Irving. It’s simply trying to tell the story of a one time event with a very large moon pie. 107.116.185.66 (talk) 16:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No one said you posted a press release. Coverage of the event is limited to minor local coverage and churnalism (articles that are copying the press release). The main issue is that mentioning this one-time event on this article is WP:UNDUE. - Aoidh (talk) 20:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
