Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Lwolstanholme. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Robert Matthew-Walker, 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 );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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. WP:BOSS might be helpful. Tacyarg (talk) 20:36, 12 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Tacyarg,
 * I appreciate this response and I will gladly enclose my history with Robert Matthew-Walker, as well as detail my position.
 * I have worked for Bob for a number of years as a freelance copyist, but have not worked for him regularly. He is a friend of mine, but also someone who I see only on fleeting occasions. I used to write for his magazine also, Musical Opinion, but this was unpaid work and concluded 3/4 years ago.
 * The other day we went for lunch and had a catch up. This was not connected to work. The topic of wikipedia page came up, and he claimed that there were some errors and missing details in his page. As he is in his 80s, I offered to make the changes for him, and he told me what it was that needed changing.
 * I stand to make no personal gain from anything wikipedia related, and would also understand if you chose to revert my changes, based on your guidelines. Before this, I did not realise this was a policy! So my apologies if this has inconvenienced you or wikimedia in anyway.
 * However, I do trust that Robert Matthew-Walker's edits are genuine. And can provide evidence for the edits made if needed.
 * Thanks,
 * Lewis Lwolstanholme (talk) 00:33, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
