Welcome
Hello, Mjmlights. 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 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 edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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.-- VViking Talk Edits 15:44, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. VViking Talk Edits 17:17, 2 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Notice of Potential Conflict of Interest
 * Hello VVikingTalkEdits,
 * I am writing in response to your notice dated February 2, 2024, regarding a potential conflict of interest (COI) in my Wikipedia edits. I have carefully reviewed the COI guidelines and the FAQ for organizations, and I would like to assure you that I have made a conscientious effort to comply with all Wikipedia policies in my contributions. To the best of my knowledge, I have not edited or created articles that would constitute a conflict of interest.
 * I am committed to maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia as a reliable and unbiased source of information. Therefore, I welcome any scrutiny and will cooperate fully with any investigation. If there is a belief that I have violated the COI policy, I kindly request detailed evidence or proof of such a violation so that I can address it directly. I understand the importance of transparency and the negative impact that a COI can have on the credibility of Wikipedia. I look forward to resolving this matter and continuing to contribute positively to the Wikipedia community.
 * Best regards,
 * Mjmlights. Mjmlights (talk) 15:17, 5 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Adding a link to, multiple articles, a book that is not published by a major publishing house is indeed either a COI or straight up promotion. Either way the books are not considered a RS and should not be readded.-- VViking Talk Edits 15:59, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I am profoundly disappointed with the level of expertise and understanding demonstrated in our interaction. It's evident that there's a significant gap in the knowledge or communication on this issue. I urgently request the email address of your supervisor or a relevant higher authority to discuss this matter more thoroughly. Should this request be ignored, I feel obligated to inform my audience about this situation through an article, highlighting the inadequacies of this discourse.

 * I am a volunteer and choose to edit Wikipedia in my spare time. If you have issues with me there are multiple avenues to discuss these issues. There is the talk page of the relevant articles you wish to add your book to. There is the dispute resolution page and there is the Administrators noticeboard/Incidents. You may wish to review Boomerang as well. But you can do what you want. Again, I'm just a volunteer.-- VViking Talk Edits 19:57, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * According to your statement, adding a link to a book not published by a recognized major publisher may be perceived as a conflict of interest or promotional activity, rendering the source unreliable by Wikipedia's standards.
 * To address this issue adequately, I require the following information:
 * 1.	Could you provide evidence or the criteria used to determine that the book in question is not published by a major publisher?
 * 2.	Additionally, I would appreciate a list of the publishers that Wikipedia recognizes as 'major' to better understand the parameters.
 * Our organization has relied on this book as a reference for many years, and we have found it to be a reliable source, often more so than some of the materials currently referenced on your website. We are committed to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of information and would like to resolve this matter promptly and effectively.
 * Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to your prompt response. Mjmlights (talk) 10:00, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Question, why would I want to help you promote this book. I am not getting paid to edit Wikipedia and I am sure not going to help someone (more than I already have) that essentially called me an idiot. All information you need can be found in different Wikipedia pages or you can ask at the WP:Teahouse but I am done giving you any more direction. -- VViking Talk Edits 14:21, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * VViking was right to revert this edit of yours. It was not written in encyclopedic style and not an improvement to the article. Please take a moment to review all of Wikipedia's guidelines and to ask yourself why you are here. Are you really trying to make Wikipedia articles better (working with the existing content and regulations) or are you here to add content from your own publications with disregard to the content that is already in the Wikipedia article. Please listen to the more experienced editors, like VViking, who are trying to guide you and please don't become aggressive. A threat like this is totally uncalled for: "I urgently request the email address of your supervisor or a relevant higher authority to discuss this matter more thoroughly. Should this request be ignored, I feel obligated to inform my audience about this situation through an article, highlighting the inadequacies of this discourse."
