User talk:Kk1704

Welcome!
Hello, Kk1704, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Quentin Skinner, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Tacyarg (talk) 19:36, 16 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello Tacyarg,
 * Would you kindly point out which bits of my edit are not neutral or objective?
 * This is not a corporate account. Quentin politely asked me if I could make a few amendments to his page, which he believed to be out of date, so I created the account in order to make the suggested changes. Kk1704 (talk) 20:13, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your reply. I agree your edits are fine in themselves, or I would have reverted them - but as an editor with a conflict of interest, you should not edit this article. Please propose any further changes on the article's Talk page. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 21:35, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello Tacyarg,
 * thank you for your prompt response and for keeping the changes despite this issue. Should any other potential additions come up, I'll be sure to follow your recommendations (such as disclosing potential COIs).
 * A few words of feedback on this. While I understand the concerns surrounding conflicts of interest, I must admit that Wikipedia seems to embrace a counterproductively broad understanding of what constitutes a conflict of interest. Editing is not reviewing. Being acquainted with someone does not preclude a person from editing their page in an objective manner, especially when relaying factual information supported with references and without evincing any bias. If the solution to these purported conflicts of interest is to put forward suggestions in the talk section in order for someone else to edit, then it is simply burdening the editing process by adding an unnecessary intermediary. That person will still have to make a judgement whether the suggested information is worth adding or not, which is something a reviewer as yourself does anyway.
 * All the best, Kk1704 (talk) 22:26, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
