Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Newliving. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Executive Leadership Council, 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 Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 14:19, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi MarioGom, thank you for the welcome! My goal is to add more articles to Wikipedia on black executives and companies that are making an impact. I'm not here to advertise, as I don't think Wikipedia would be even be a great channel for advertising. I hope my contributions are honored by the community. Thank you for giving me my first formal welcome Mario! Newliving (talk) 15:43, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
