Conflict of Interest guidelines and editing Wikipedia
- Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your interest in making Wikipedia articles better. Given that your name includes "itu" and that the only article you have edited so far is International Telecommunication Union, I would guess that you are either employed by or affiliated with the ITU. If that is true, then a principle you should understand about Wikipedia is that you are asked NOT to edit any articles about organizations you work for or with. That may seem counter-intuitive - after all, you probably know more about the ITU than many of the rest of us. But this "conflict of interest" guideline is here to ensure that articles have a neutral point of view (NPOV) and do not have even the perception of bias by being edited by people connected to the article.

You may find these two articles helpful:


 * Plain and simple guide to conflict of interest
 * What Wikipedia is not

If you are affilated with the ITU, you have "COI" in Wikipedia terms and are asked to not directly edit the International Telecommunication Union article. However, what you can do is go to the "Talk" page at Talk:International Telecommunication Union and create a new "section" with your suggestions of edits to the article. Then you need to wait for some other editor to come along, agree with your suggestions, and make the changes on your behalf. It's a longer (and sometimes frustrating) process, but it is who Wikipedia strives to ensure "WP:NPOV". If you have questions about this, please feel free to create a new section on my user talk page and I'll be glad to try to answer them. - Dyork (talk) 20:00, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
