Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Boxofchockies. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Virginia Hey, 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. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯  talk  07:33, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I don’t understand. I’m not affiliated with any external company organisation, I’m not promoting anything, I merely correcting information. Boxofchockies (talk) 07:43, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I am completely confused. I give up. Boxofchockies (talk) 07:40, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It is pretty simple actually. In your edit summaries, you mentioned that you copy and pasted info from IMDb onto Virginia Hey's article. That is a clear copyright violation and has been removed entirely as copying material from other websites are strictly prohibited on Wikipedia. You also mentioned that you yourself are Virginia Heys. Whether or not that is actually true, editing articles about yourself or people that you are closely connected to violates Wikipedia COI policy. If you have any other concerns, please let me know. ɴᴋᴏɴ21  ❯❯❯  talk  07:47, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
