Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, CFK Africa. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Carolina for Kibera, 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 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. Signed, The4lines &#124;&#124;&#124;&#124; (Talk) (Contributions) 17:02, 4 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was unaware of the guidelines and simply wanted to make a note that Carolina for Kibera recently changed its name to CFK Africa and is now working in additional locations so that people would not get confused about the change. Is there a way to revert the article back and then propose changes on the talk pages? CFK Africa (talk) 17:29, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You might be able to get away with just adding good reliable sources and leaving like that, although with your name, I'm not sure. You can undo your edit and ask on the talk page, but there's no guarantee that you will receive a response. I'll leave it up to you to decide. I do highly recommend reading the links above if you plan to continue editing. Signed, The4lines &#124;&#124;&#124;&#124; (Talk) (Contributions) 17:38, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have undone the edits and will ask on the talk page. I appreciate you helping me address this! CFK Africa (talk) 17:46, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Normally people with COI's like this don't comply this easily. I'm glad you did, it makes my job easier. Happy editing! Signed, The4lines &#124;&#124;&#124;&#124; (Talk) (Contributions) 17:48, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
