Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Cobeepbeep. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Paul Heck, 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, clients, 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 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. Escape Orbit (Talk) 11:35, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Please stop editing Paul Heck until you have addressed the above. You appear to have a conflict of interest in editing this article and it is affecting the neutrality of what you are adding. Do you have any connection to the company Cobeep? -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 12:37, 1 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I am attempting to make Paul Heck's page as accurate as possible, because I am Paul Heck. Does that mean I have a conflict with myself? I am trying to familiarize myself with the editing process and guidelines as quickly as I can. Thank you for pointing things out and for making changes that keep the page within standards. This page previously had a link to the Cobeep website - and now you have taken it off.  Is it because it is perceived as self-promoting? If that is so, fine, but it was allowed to be on the page for the past 5 years, so I didn't not think it was a problem. Cobeepbeep (talk) 13:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately it means that you are writing an autobiography, which is strongly discouraged. The conflict is in that you cannot be completely neutral and objective about yourself, which is in conflict with a core principle of Wikipedia.
 * If you wish to include a link to Cobeep you need first demonstrate the relationship it has to the article subject, rather than it being mentioned unsourced in passing. It would be notable if Paul Hicks runs a company, and a source (preferably from a reliable third party) should be possible to find. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 18:07, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Noted. My only desire, with my edits today, has been to make the page objectively accurate, but I understand the core principles of Wikipedia. I did not start this page, some other person did, years ago....when they did there were many inaccuracies. Then other people added other inaccuracies or deleted things to suite their own agendas. It can be a very weird situation, at times. If you now have or ever have your own Wikipedia page, you'll know what I mean.... PH Cobeepbeep (talk) 20:19, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
