Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, HarryJosephFriel. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Pennsylvania's 6th congressional district, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI 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 (you can use 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 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 WP:PAID. It would appear you are writing about yourself, or you are closely associated with the person you are writing about. Scjessey (talk) 14:13, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Providing objective accurate info to Wikipedia is not a conflict of interest. Wikipedia loses as I step into the voting booth and vote for myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HarryJosephFriel (talk • contribs)
 * That is not how it works at all. Please read WP:COI for more information. If you are running for office in the PA 6th and get a little media coverage, someone will almost certainly write about you on Wikipedia and what you are trying to achieve will happen organically. You can even help out that person a little by putting information about yourself on your own user page. Take a look at mine to see an example of what you can do. Anyway, good luck with your campaign. -- Scjessey (talk) 09:59, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, you are unlikely to generate any coverage until you have registered and filed. -- Scjessey (talk) 16:23, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
