Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, VITRUVIUS28BC. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Alistair John Rowan, 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. Tacyarg (talk) 22:49, 23 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I request that you remove the entry on myself Alistair John Rowan. Your entry was incorrect in that it stated that I was employed in University College Cork from which I retired in 2003.  I contributed a factual article giving my education and career details which was on the Wikipedia site until recently. This last weekend I completed the bibliography of my published books which now appears on the site attached to the older entry. If it is not permitted for me to correct or amplify the facts relating to myself which are wrong then I would strongly prefer to disappear completely from Wikipedia.  Thank you.
