Conflict of interest editing
Hello, Truthisthebestpolicy. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Fiona Graham, 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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:18, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Advice
Hi there, I'm Whisperjanes. I noticed that you left a message/reply at the Teahouse awhile ago. Since you are trying to be independent with your editing, I suggest you take the advice left to you here at the Teahouse. To quote what was said, "You both should follow WP:COIADVICE and WP:PSCOI instead as well as WP:DECLARECOI to avoid a misunderstandings by other editors."

Since I haven't seen you take these steps of advice yet about Conflict of Interest editing, but you are still editing on the pages you have a conflict with, I thought I would send a reminder. I would particularly suggest that you start a discussion at Talk:Fiona Graham with any any edit suggestions you have instead of continuing to edit that page, since most of your edits have been reverted so far. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Best, - Whisperjanes (talk) 07:49, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know Whisperjanes. I already started discussion at Talk:Fiona Graham as you gave back unsourced sentence and as you reverted my last edit in section "geisha activities" - which was well sourced!
 * Sorry, I think there is some confusion. I'm not sure what unsourced sentence you are talking about or what edit you are referring to (since I haven't editing the Fiona Graham article before). Just to be clear, I personally haven't reverted your edits on the Fiona article -- I was just letting you know that others have reverted them, possibly because of the conflict of interest or some other reason. In the future, if you want to look at past edits to an article, there should be a "View History" tab/button at the top of every article that will show you the history of edits made (as well as who made the edit, what was changed, an edit summary or reason for the change, etc). Hope this helps, - Whisperjanes (talk) 04:26, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
