Sand County Foundation possible COI
Hello, Cschell66. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Sand County Foundation, 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. MarconiCheese (talk) 23:16, 17 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello! Thank you for this message. Can you please advise us further on this? We believe someone who worked for our organization long ago (Sand County Foundation) created this Wiki for our organization many years ago. We would like to delete it entirely, if that is possible It contained very outdated information which I just deleted. Am I allowed to do that for an organization I work for, or is that considered a conflict of interest? Thank you. Cschell22 Cschell66 (talk) 23:25, 17 November 2022 (UTC)


 * You can start by reading the guidelines outlined above: avoid editing an article on an entity you are affiliated with; instead, propose changes to the article on the talk page; and declare your conflict of interest. Please keep in mind that this encyclopedia article is not your organization's web page, its content should be supported by reliable third-party sources, and it may be edited by anyone.

Hello, I'm Johnj1995. I noticed that you recently removed content from Sand County Foundation without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

 * Hello John. Thank you. I appreciate your message. I am new to this, and didn't realize I could not delete information that is no longer accurate. I also did not know I need to submit a conflict of interest for edits (this is an organization I work for.) I will try again to correct the outdated information with appropriate citations. Thank you, Cschell66 Cschell66 (talk) 02:56, 18 November 2022 (UTC)


 * You'reallowed to delete information, but you need to explain why information is being deleted. I would suggest not trying to "correct the information", and instead, following the guidelines explained above by requesting changes to the article on the article's talk page.
