Conflict of interest
Hello, Rafflesineducation. 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.

In summary: Thanks for your understanding. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:30, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * If you are editing in a paid capacity (employee of the institution you are writing about) you *must* disclose your association publicly (preferably on your user page). This is a requirement of Terms of Use, to which you agreed when you registered an account here.
 * In accordance with WP:COI, you should not make substantial changes to articles where you have a conflict of interest. Propose your revisions instead on the article talk pages.

Apsley Business School, London discussion
Hi Amatulić, Thanks for reviewing my article! I know Apsley Business School, London as a friend of a current student, but I don't have any conflict of interest with them. I'm new to wikipedia (as an editor), and I am learning to format the structure and links through the tutorials. I am not paid any money by anyone to do with this, just learning how to set up and edit a wikipage as a hobby, hope it's okay now. look forward to doing more stuff here :), (User talk:rafflesineducation 18:16, 06 March 2015)


 * OK, no problem. The message above is fairly standard when an editor shows a pattern of contributions that focus on one subject area. Your contributions were constructive and helpful overall, but gave the appearance that you were here as a representative for that school.


 * Carry on, and welcome! If you need help with anything, feel free to ask me on my talk page or post a query on Help desk. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:39, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Great! Thank you. I wanted to start with something I knew something about and could be helpful with :) Thanks for the feedback. (User talk:rafflesineducation 18:44, 06 March 2015)
