Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Mackay9. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Paul McLean (rugby union), 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) 09:13, 18 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * My father has asked that the information about him be corrected so I'm unsure how I am supposed to do that for him without being a COI.
 * This is the first time I've done this and I'm sorry I don't quite understand all of the guidelines.
 * Please advise what I need to do to ensure the information we edited is put on the page. The information that was on there was incorrect in most cases.

 * Hi, thanks for your reply. The best thing to do is to use the WP:REQUESTEDIT template to request changes on the article's Talk page. If you can add sources for anything you want to change, another editor will be able to pick it up and make the changes. So for the comment about the McLean Stand, there was probably some newspaper coverage of this at the time. Don't add the names of children or grandchildren though - this is against Wikipedia's privacy policy (see WP:BLPNAME). Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 07:00, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
