Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Marcdeswaanarons. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Tornado chaser (talk) 19:20, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Updating profile
I would like to update my profile which is very old. I have references (links) to all the changes I would like to make. I was just doing This when I was made aware of the conflict of interest policies. As I am including links to only external resources (publications) am I OK to make the changes myself or do I ask here for the changes to be made by someone else? Many thanks for your guidance Marcdeswaanarons (talk) 19:28, 20 October 2017 (UTC)


 * it is better to ask someone else to make the edits, as bias can still be present in properly sourced edits, good question though. Tornado chaser (talk) 22:15, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
