Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Richard D Clarke. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Richard D. Clarke, 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 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. TornadoLGS (talk) 03:44, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

A few other useful notes
In addition to the message above here are a few more useful notes:
 * Wikipedia has an FAQ for people with articles about them.
 * Keep in mind that, on Wikipedia, there is no ownership of articles even for the subjects of those articles.
 * Wikipedia has strict polices regarding biographies of living persons, including that all statements must be verified by published reliable sources.
 * Articles about people are biographical, rather than autobiographical and should be written in the third person. Personal thoughts and feelings of the articles subjects are usually not included unless they are relevant and publicly stated in reliable sources, as mentioned above.
