Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, TourismAtikokan. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Atikokan, 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. GermanJoe (talk) 18:20, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

So I work for Economic Development in the town of Atikokan but don't work for the municipality itself and am confused as to why that would constitute a conflict of interest as the article is about the town in general not specific to the town government or any other organization. I havent linked my own website at any point however some links to my website already existed. Would I be permitted to continue adding to the page if I disclose my supposed conflict on my page?
