Possible conflict of interest for "Calvin T. Samuel" article
(Copied from User talk:80.41.2.210‎)

A principle of Wikipedia is that editing should not be undertaken where there is a possible conflict of interest between the editor and the topic of the article. The edits today from this IP address (and also just now in the new account Kaziwazi) on the article Calvin T. Samuel have the feel that they may perhaps have been done by someone with an association with the editor. If so, this is likely to be just such a conflict of interest, and should be avoided. The Wikipedia policy is described here: WP:COI. (In brief, for the article on a person "X", person "X" and their close relatives should not edit the article.)

 * If you are related or closely associated, it is still possible to have changes introduced to the article; it's just that you shouldn't be the person doing them. The normal practice would be to request the suggested changes on the talk page of the article (in this case Talk:Calvin T. Samuel) and, importantly, provide independent, reliable sources for the information: see WP:RS. Then (hopefully) another editor would pick them up and act on them. I hope that helps.

I have just attempted to incorporate some of the material into the article. Within a Wikipedia article, it is important to keep the focus, much of the suggested material was tangential to the biography of the person himself. Wikipedia also aims to avoid being promotional, so that, too, needed some pruning. Feline Hymnic (talk) 10:34, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
