Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Rocordman. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Deletion review/Log/2019 September 27, 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, 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 WP: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. ToThAc (talk) 17:30, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

I saw the conflict of interest statement. I thought the conflict of interest only applied to a Roc Ordman wiki page about me, not my user page. Can I state the things that I wrote yesterday on my user page, as I have done? Rocordman (talk) 19:57, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Also, I do not know how to respond to the message I received from ToThAc. I hope this gets to him. Rocordman (talk) 19:59, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, COI generally applies to articles, not necessarily user pages. You can definitely link to your profiles on websites you also collaborate in, as well as make one-off userpage updates (telling readers a little bit about yourself is fine as well); just don't advertise your services or make excessively unproductive userspace edits (as those are violations of Wikipedia's policy).

 * PS: To message another user, add ping before your comment and put the user's name in the first parameter. EX:  ToThAc (talk) 20:26, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, that worked. ToThAc (talk) 20:45, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
