Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Tonny Aerts. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Street theatre, 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 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. Lord Belbury (talk) 14:39, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Please read the above information before editing the Close-Act Theatre article again, given that you are the company's artistic director. Thank you. --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:12, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Dear Lord Belbury. I am the artistic director of Close-Act Theatre and I did not create the Wikipedia page. The page came by surprise and I adapted some information and corrected some mistakes years ago. I like other people to contribute more than writing myself, but it is difficult to ignore falls or insufficient information. Some links were very important because they genuinely connect to renown festivals from around the world. Linking is an important tool on Wikipedia I believe. It connects different topics and interests. Can you please verify the information and preserve articles and links if you discover they are correct? I fairly contributed facts so can you please keep correct information intact? Thank you Tonny Aerts


 * You're welcome to correct straightforward mistakes. If you want to provide some examples of festivals with sources, you can make a clear edit request at Talk:Close-Act Theatre, and an editor will consider adding it to the article. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:16, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

I don’t understand. Didn’t you check the information you deleted? Does it matter who wrote it or does it matter what’s right? A wikipedia contributor has a to obligation to check, provide or maintain genuine information. Deleting articles without checking just because its writer seems like a contribution with no reason. Hope you understand my indignation. My only question is: Can you as an editor please check the information again? Thank you


 * No, I didn't take the time to verify each of the 49 festivals you listed as having performed at before deleting 46 of them, I just cut it down a shorter and more readable "including..." list and marked it as needing sourcing. Your company should not have added that list in the first place.
 * If you can provide a better paragraph that gives some significant examples and context (festivals where you headlined, received awards, etc), and with sources, please make an edit request on the talk page and somebody will assess it. --Lord Belbury (talk) 18:10, 15 April 2021 (UTC)


 * That's a pity.

I will make an edit request to get a better description about the topic! Please remember: The deleted items were correct, primary benefitted third parties and edited for that reason only. I think it is important that Wikipedia provides full information about topics or at least as complete as possible. This is the reason I edited the page. (Note: I did not created it)
