Conflict of interest editing in WP
Hi MatthewJones608 -

I am giving you notice of our COI guideline here, as well as Wikipedia's Terms of Use, so that you can become familiar with them. I have a couple comments and a request for you at the bottom of this.

Hello, MatthewJones608. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

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


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Comments and questions

 * * First would you please let us know if you some conflict of interest to disclose, with regard to digital currencies? You do not have to reveal any personal information, but you do have to say enough to make it clear that you have a COI, if you have one.  Something like, "I am a founder of Bitshare" or "I work at Bitshare" or whatever else is relevant.  Simple and short.
 * You seem to be working with two other users here, and .  Please be aware of meat puppeting  and be sure not to violate that.
 * I have opened a discussion at the Conflicts of Interest noticeboard, Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard, so we can all talk in one place. Would you please come there and Talk?  Thanks Jytdog (talk) 22:58, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
