Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jay-70. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Totalitarian democracy, 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 edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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.  Spencer T• C 22:14, 24 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying. I didn't know there was a conflict of interest because it appears that many people enhance writeups about themselves in one form or another. Does this mean, however, that if I a) share my university affiliations and b) remove the link of my book located at the publisher's website, that my writeup can go up? Thanks for the info once again.
 * Sincerely,
 * Jack Jay-70 (talk) 22:45, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
