Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Toxikluvr. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Tim Bates (Cyber Security Expert), 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 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 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. Equine-man (talk) 20:02, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I see that you explained what's going on here, and it's appreciated that you did that. I imagine that you probably respect and look up to your dad; the same's true for me.But I'd never write an article about my dad. First, he's almost certainly not notable. That's not to knock anyone&mdash;the vast majority of people aren't notable, and therefore aren't suitable subjects for articles. And even if he were, it is very difficult to stay neutral on a subject you're very close to or have a strong interest in promoting, and it's also very difficult to stick to only facts verified by published sources when you have a lot of personal, unverifiable knowledge about the subject. So while your enthusiasm is appreciated, it's probably better if you pick a different topic, where it may be easier for you to remain neutral and stick only to facts verified by sources.
