Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Nuclearwinteriscorrect. 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 or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * 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. MrOllie (talk) 19:47, 11 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I am new to this. I see that your guidelines say, "However, our policy on matters relating to living people allows very obvious errors to be fixed quickly, including by the subject." That is what I am doing.  Is there a process to do this other than just edit the page? Nuclearwinteriscorrect (talk) 20:23, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Very obvious errors are things like an incorrect place of birth. What you did was change the POV slant of the article to be more favorable to yourself, which is really not something you should be doing here. For that kind of thing you need to use the article's talk page. MrOllie (talk) 20:25, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * How do I do that? What I did is to get rid of the erroneous negative slant.  For example, the article said I was "summoned" to visit Cuba.  This is completely false.  I changed it to "invited."  This is not slant.  This is facts. Nuclearwinteriscorrect (talk) 20:42, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Go to Talk:Nuclear winter and click on 'new section', then type just as you are doing here. As a person with a very strong conflict of interest, Wikipedia's position is that you are probably too close to the issue to make these kind of determinations, and you should leave such changes to people with no personal connection to the issue.

 * I will do that. But if I was the one that had the experience, how can a stranger who was not there know what happened?  And if I am the one who has published peer-reviewed journal articles on the topic, how can someone who is writing "someone criticized the work" without any peer-review, be allowed to have their views published and mine excluded?

 * We follow the sources, such as the one cited in the article. To quote: The only interest at a national level I have had was somewhat surreal: in September 2010, Fidel Castro summoned me to a conference on nuclear winter in Havana, to help promote his new view that a nuclear conflict would bring about Armageddon.
