Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, DrobertsACBJ. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Cincinnati Business Courier, 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. MB 03:07, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

My apologies
I have no idea if I'm doing this correctly -- so I am sorry for the clutter in this thread.

The aim in making the changes I proposed to Wikipedia is to deepen the understanding Google has with an organization and its subsidiaries. In instances where there is a page for a subsidiary (example: Boston Business Journal) Google provides a very nice box about this business in its SERPs (example: https://www.google.com/search?q=boston+business+journals). I was attempting to do the same with Cincinnati Business Courier. I agree that there is a COI (since I work for American City Business Journals) and I admit I have no idea what I'm doing and could use a lot of help to accomplish my goal.

 * Since you've declared that you have a conflict of interest with the subject of an article that you are writing, it is recommended that you submit the article through the Articles for creation process. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and neutrality policies and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. signed,Rosguill talk 08:03, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
