Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, MKAmbassador. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Air Mauritius, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. While people with a close connection to a subject are not expressly prohibited from editing about that subject, and are often the kind of enthusiastic writers Wikipedia very much needs and appreciates, they will need to be especially careful about ensuring that their edits are supported by reliable sources and writing with as little personal bias as possible. Statements added to an article under the premise, "I know this is true because I am an expert on the subject", are considered unsubstantiated unless accompanied by citations to such sources, and maybe flagged or removed by other editors if they are not.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of potential problems:


 * Exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products with which they are involved.
 * Avoid linking from your organization's web site to the Wikipedia article or vice versa (see Spam).
 * Consider disclosing your relationship to the organization or product you are writing about. If you don't, you may be in breach of Wikipedia's Terms of Use (see these guidelines for more information about how and where to do this).
 * Become familiar with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For the record: "MK" is the IATA airline code for Air Mauritius. Jetstreamer $Talk$ 13:12, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
