Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, ChristinaPMGSports. 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. shoy (reactions) 15:37, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Second opinion request
Because there had been four "help me!" headings, I chose to give each a more descriptive heading. Feel free to undo this. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Please help me with... I submitted an article for review and got flagged for a COI, but I don't understand the problem. Everything is legitimate and sourced. Can I get a second opinion and a specific explanation of how and where it violates Wikipedia guidelines?

 * Please read the links given above in the COI warning. Praxidicae (talk) 21:11, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Position of the connected contributor template
Because there had been four "help me!" headings, I chose to give each a more descriptive heading. Feel free to undo this. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Please help me with... I have referenced the links. Everything is properly cited. I will disclose the COI as necessary. Where should the connected contributor template be placed?

 * The article appears to be purely promotional in nature. Wikipedia is not a webhost. Striker force Talk 21:48, 27 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Additional note: Please disclose the COI using the "UserboxCOI template" from WP:DISCLOSE, and place it at User:ChristinaPMGSports. Thanks. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:50, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * To answer your question, connected contributor (paid) should go on the talk page of the draft. Primefac (talk) 21:54, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Publish button missing
Because there had been four "help me!" headings, I chose to give each a more descriptive heading. Feel free to undo this. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Please help me with... I would like to make the necessary changes for my Wikipedia submission to be published. Since initially submitting for review, the draft appears in my sandbox differently. After selecting the "Evan Morgenstein" draft, it opens normally and I can select the edit tab as before and publish the changes; however, the secondary "publish" button to submit for review is no longer available. Is this because I have already submitted for review and any necessary revisions since then are automatically subject for review? I just want to make sure that I am actually making my revisions available for feedback.

ChristinaPMGSports (talk) 16:11, 2 January 2019 (UTC) Thanks!
 * Hi ChristinaPMGSports, I've re-added the box showing the draft was previously declined - this has a "Submit" button on it that you can use to resubmit your draft for review. stwalkerster (sock &#124; talk) 16:26, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

COI still an issue?

Please help me with... I can see that my COI disclosure is posted and acknowledged, but it's still flagged? Is this going to continue to be an issue or will the submission be accepted with additional changes?

 * Hi, I have moved the disclosure notice to the draft's talk page. A conflict of interest theoretically has no effect on the acceptance of the draft. However, often, users with a conflict of interest use non-neutral language to describe the article subject. It is important that you are aware of your conflict of interest, but not a problem for reviewing. Your draft will not be treated differently than other drafts. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:10, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Which is to say, it will be declined or rejected, since that is what happens to the vast majority of articles submitted to AfC, including yours. However, I have now gone over the previously declined article and tried to revamp it to better suit Wikipedia's reviewers.  Your sources looked legitimate to me, and the subject seems worth of inclusion.  It may yet be declined, but I think it has a better shot at things the way it looks now.  You are also welcome to edit the draft, though do take notice of the things I changed: things like "legend" and "star" have been removed, sections of unsourced personal information have also been removed, etc.  The piece needs to have nothing promotional about it.  I am still not sure it is completely free of that, but it is definitely much better!  Good luck!  A loose noose (talk) 08:32, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
