Editing with a conflict of interest
Hello, Roe.thomas88. 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, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI 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.-- Ponyo bons mots 17:23, 28 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * I have only added factual information, backed up by sources, i'm confused as to why my edits were rejected?
 * Could you tell me where my edits are advertising, publicising or promoting anything?

 * Hi,
 * Any chance of some help with this? Roe.thomas88 (talk) 21:45, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The additions you made were rife with puffery and WP:PEACOCK terms and were overtly promotional. The reason that editors who have a conflict of interest are advised to make edit requests on the article talk page instead of editing the article directly is because they believe that adding prose such as "Ross Wilson believes strongly in community outreach, through creativity and educational interaction within marginalised communities both in Ireland and more recently in Rwanda. His aim is to encourage others to see with the soul of the eye" is somehow encyclopedic. --  Ponyo bons mots 21:34, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
