Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, MAPotter. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Michelle Potter, 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. Tacyarg (talk) 11:35, 31 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for this message. Yes, I was editing a page about myself. BUT mostly I was making spelling corrections (uninhibited instead of uninhibted for example), fixing a so-called dead link which was not dead but again had a spelling error (nls instead of nla in footnote 1 for example), adding to the list of books and list of essays, which was out of date (and in fact there was and still is a message that says the list of essays is incomplete and please add to update it!), and correcting titles that were incorrect. I was not promoting myself just updating and correcting the entry and if I am not permitted to do this I would rather the entire entry be removed. Who else is going to do it? Claude Conyers, who very generously created the entry, is now dead. MAPotter (talk) 19:26, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, I looked at your edits and saw that they were uncontroversial and didn't revert them. As for who else would do it - if you need to make more changes you can use the request edit function on the article's Talk page. Tacyarg (talk) 00:13, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
