 You appear to have a close connection to the subject on Wikipedia that raises concerns about a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged.

Anyone with a conflict of interest must avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your family or colleagues, your organization or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Note that 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. Even if you are not being paid, you are expected to disclose any close connection with the subject of the article, using the connected contributor template.

For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. Thank you. Deb (talk) 14:29, 20 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, you do have a conflict of interest. Please read Autobiography. People who try to write or edit articles about themselves often don't realise how obvious it is to the rest of us. That's generally because they are so focused on themselves that they fail to take the trouble to read the Wikipedia guidelines and understand the basics of editing. I note that you have never edited any article other than the one about yourself; that's fine as long as you don't then try to tell others how to monitor adherence to the guidelines. You haven't been targeted, attacked or bullied in any way; if you think you have, just go to WikiBullying for advice on how to handle it. If you feel there are inaccuracies in the article, simply use the Talk page to request a change, giving a reliable independent reference for the facts that you think should be included, or at least explain why and how the referenced content is wrong.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. You've twice been given the reason why your edit is inappropriate. You've shown that you understand that reason by re-stating it in the first paragraph of this edit. Please revert your change and do not include external links in the text of any articles in future. Deb (talk) 17:53, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
