People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] and writing with as little bias as possible. |
|||
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems: |
|||
*'''Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating''' articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with. |
|||
*'''Be cautious about deletion discussions'''. Everyone is welcome to provide information about [[Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent sources]] in [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|deletion discussions]], but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors. |
|||
*'''Avoid linking''' to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see [[Wikipedia:Spam]]). |
|||
*'''Exercise great caution''' so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies. |
