Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, JayneShawWest. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Jayne West, 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 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. --Hadal (talk) 16:25, 5 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello Hadal,
 * I did not create this page (which is about me), but rather, a colleague/fan made it many years ago. It was brought to my attention that my birth date was listed as 1900, so I wanted to correct that (I'm old, but not THAT old!). Also, a couple of URL's needed correcting as well as current work as a voice teacher at NEC. Should I have someone else do the changes on my behalf? I'm not promoting, just trying to make sure the facts are correct.
 * Thank you,

 * Hi Jayne,
 * In situations like this, where there is an inherent COI w/ the article subject, it's best to request any changes to be made on the article's talk page (e.g., Talk:Jayne West). There is also a more formal mechanism explained at Edit requests (which may be more helpful in this case, where the article isn't on many peoples' watchlists.) No harm has been done, and your edits have not been removed; but it's best to respect our COI policies going forward. I hope this info is helpful! --Hadal (talk) 17:46, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
