If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked without further warning.

Conflict of interest
Hello, I'm a site administrator who read a report on Wikipedia's conflict of interest noticeboard. Many of your edit summaries indicate business history and probably are factual, although unverified. If you'd like this site to reflect this type of information, I advise the following approach:
 * If your professional relationships might cause an appearance of impropriety, then post suggested changes to the article talk page rather than editing the article yourself.
 * Include one or more full line citations with each suggested change.
 * Disclose your potential conflict of interest fully.

Let uninvolved Wikipedia editors evaluate and adapt your desired edits. If you'd like to draw attention to this type of request you could post to the relevant WikiProjects. This site strives for neutral tone and encyclopedic prose, which is quite different from the style of most promotional writing. Occasionally the press picks up on a conflict of interest story that involves Wikipedia editing - when that happens the story tends to snowball and cause substantial media backlash. I've summarized some of the well known cases at this essay. Best wishes, Durova Charge! 20:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello Hmartincalle. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Nutraceutical, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Reify-tech (talk) 13:49, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
