Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, GrassRoot. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Gio Swaby, 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. ''Hello! We welcome your contributions but it seems that the article you created on Gio Swaby, a very interesting and accomplished artist, is either an autobiography or you have a direct conflict of interest. I've accepted the article for publication, but please be aware that moving forward you should not edit the article directly, but rather use the "edit request system" on the article talk page. Please read the links above in this message, and follow the guidance and policies for COI editing. Thank you.'' Netherzone (talk) 16:25, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
