Conflict of interest
You have posted on your user page that you have a conflict of interest. What is the nature of your conflict? 331dot (talk) 12:12, 19 July 2023 (UTC)


 * This was erroneous and has been fixed. Sorry SAHockeyFan (talk) 12:28, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Your very first edit was to post the COI notice. That's an unusual thing for a new user to do, as most are not aware of the COI policy when they first arrive. Why did you post it if you have no conflict of interest?  Do you have any association with Belgotex? 331dot (talk) 12:35, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I did not know I posted it to be honest. I do not have an association with Belgotex, I am merely a hockey journalist in South Africa trying to start building more of the tournaments into Wikipedia as there is a poor repository of information here SAHockeyFan (talk) 12:37, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You wouldn't have known about how to post a COI notice unless you read about it somewhere, it requires some knowledge of wiki code or at least copying it from the COI policy page. Interesting that you seemingly sought out that page to declare a COI with regards to SA Men's Indoor Hockey but now don't remember. In any event, since you say you aren't associated with the sponsor of the tournament, you are welcome to proceed with editing your draft, but you will need to summarize independent reliable sources and not sources from Belgotex. If you intend to cite your own journalistic work in such an article, that will require declaring a COI. 331dot (talk) 12:45, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay thank you SAHockeyFan (talk) 12:46, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
