Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Lingodu. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Forbes 30 Under 30, 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. Edwardx (talk) 14:45, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Edwardx,


 * I saw that you sent me a message on my talk page. Thanks so much for the information. I have no connection whatsoever to Forbes. I literally just copied what was mentioned in the sources that I added, but if that sounded too promotional, I apologize. That was not my intention whatsoever. I only just wanted to add any interesting additional information I could find in sources I read online. I will make sure to read the guidelines that you sent to me. I would just like to learn how to add info to articles that I find interesting. It really is not my intention at all to puff up this article. Again my apologies if it came across that way.


 * Thanks again. Lingodu (talk) 18:23, 5 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Lingodu. When a new editor only ever edits one article (or related articles), experience shows that they often have a conflict of interest. Edwardx (talk) 12:01, 6 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks for letting me know and I appreciate your advice, Edwardx. Lingodu (talk) 14:56, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
