Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Graysmithm. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Robert Graysmith, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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 COI 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 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. Longhair\talk 03:36, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

 * This account is ✅ to . The edits from both accounts are definitely made with a conflict of interest and clearly have a promotional tone. Those edits were not tenable with Wikipedia's mission and have been removed. Also, it is clear that you created the second account within the very minute that tagged you with having a COI and I find that you created that account specifically to avoid scrutiny. Any further promotion by your account, IPs or any other accounts that promote Graysmith will be handled with long duration blocks and page protections.
