Conflict of interest notice

Hi Janny529. Thanks for disclosing your conflict of interest with regard to [Tim Berry (entrepreneur)]]. I'm providing you with Wikipedia's conflict of interest notice.

Hello, Janny529. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. 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 ensuring their edits are verified by 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.
• 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.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 16:57, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Can we talk a bit please?

you seem to be a freelance writer... can we talk a bit please? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 18:32, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

How do we do that? Yes, I am a freelancer. :-)

Thanks, Janny529 (talk) 18:34, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Janny529

we can just chat right here... thanks for being open to this! OK so this is not going to be happy news for you but have you heard of the wiki-pr scandal that happened a couple of years ago here? Jytdog (talk) 18:40, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Actually, no, I hadn't heard of it. Are you telling me that as a freelancer, I'm suspect of being a PR person? Janny529 (talk) 18:41, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Janny519

i started writing a long reply but i just realized something. you wrote that Tim asked you to work on the article. is he your friend, or do you work for him, or is this a freelance gig? I'll say more after you answer... Jytdog (talk) 19:24, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

This is a freelance gig. I do other writing for Tim, and in the process of working on some other stuff he mentioned that his Wiki page had been flagged for "commercial" and such content, so he wanted to see if I could fix that. That's how all this started. But I just do work for Tim as a freelancer--I don't work for any of his companies or for him in any other capacity. He hired me through oDesk.Janny529 (talk) 19:36, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Janny529Janny529 (talk) 19:36, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
