Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Lynn Buckle. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 request edit 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. Pam D  08:57, 22 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hallo Lynn, The above is a standard "template" message. I was alerted that there was a new incoming link to the article I'd started about you (from Backwell School, and then noticed the user name of the editor who'd made the link, so just thought I'd drop this message here to remind you that in general Wikipedia is very much against people editing about themselves or their friends/family/colleagues etc. If there's anything which needs to be fixed in Lynn Buckle or any other article related to you, it's best to make a post on the article's talk page, providing a reliable independent published source as appropriate, so that another editor can act on your suggestion. It's just the way that Wikipedia tries to protect itself from being used for self-promotion: it's a constant struggle! I hope you're happy with the article I started about you, which was inspired by hearing the Barbellion Prize discussed on Radio 4. If there are inaccuracies, or omissions (with sources), please comment on the talk page. Thanks, and all the best.  Pam  D  09:08, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
