Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Joel2001k. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:38, 29 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I just disclosed my connection to Gsequencer on my user page. Would it be better, if ask a former contributor to submit the article?

 * Hi – it doesn't matter; by the sound of it, a "former contributor" would also have a COI.
 * You're welcome to submit the draft for review at AfC, but you're not allowed to publish it directly yourself.
 * That said, unless the sources cited are sufficient to satisfy WP:GNG, there is little point in submitting it, as it will inevitably be declined. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:59, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
