Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Kmonastyrsky. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Konstantin Monastyrsky, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
 * instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the template);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. Chaheel Riens (talk) 15:43, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Chaheel Riens, if you believe I am in a violation of conflict of interest, please remove the text from my page that violates Wikipedia policy on prohibiting backlinging and making unsubstantiated and offensive claims related to the biography of a living person.

 * Question: Which policy are you referring to with this edit summary here:  "Chaheel Riens, you are in a violation of Wikipedia policy of making changes on behalf of interested party", because I'm pretty damn sure that whichever policy you think you're referring to, the Conflict of interest policy will trump it.  Have you read it yet?  I've pointed you towards it numerous times.  It might be a good idea you know?
 * Question: Please highlight the backlinks that you take offence to, and clarify the policy which prohibits them.  I (or somebody else ) will then assess them for suitability.  If they do indeed transgress any real policies, they'll be removed, but as an interested party - if the not party in question himself - you may ask others to do this, but not actually do it yourself.
