Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, NewsletterTheFriars. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Aylesford Priory, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with 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).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. StudiesWorld (talk) 11:48, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Username issue
As I said in my reply at the Teahouse, you're not going to like this very much, but I do need to mention another issue that you no doubt weren't aware of. It relates to your username which, unfortunately, suggests that the account is open for more than one person to access. This is against our policy (we require one person-one account), but there is a very easy remedy. If I could ask you simply to cease using that account from now on and to create another free account with a better, less promotional name that is only used by yourself, that would be perfect. So, for example, User:FriaryFrancis or User:NewsletterClare would be absolutely OK. You could then add a note to the old account stating that it has been abandoned, and link to your new account name, resolving never to use the old one again. Then you can carry on editing with the new account, and we'll be delighted to assist you in understanding any of our seemingly complicated guidelines, and we hope you continue to contribute to Wikipedia. I for one think you are well positioned to add a 'Further Reading' section on the priory, as I'm sure you must be aware of past and antiquarian publications about the Priory which many others aren't aware of. That can be immensely useful, and isn't a conflict of interest. Providing you declare your account connection on your (new) user page, it should be OK for you to add neutral factual statements to the article, though proposing them on the talk page, waiting a week for any editor to raise concerns, and then inserting them if nobody replies is actually a better way of dealing with your desire to improve the encyclopaedia.

Ok, Thank you. Whereabouts can I put the note to say that I am abandoning the NewsletterTheFriars?


 * On your user page here.  Dbfirs  06:29, 11 July 2019 (UTC)


 * You could, if you wish, also mention your new account there, and mention your old account on the user page of your new account, but you don't have to do this. You should mention your connection with any organisation that you are editing.
