Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi Henrich77 I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia along with my regular editing. Your edits to date are all about Ramy El-Batrawi. You also uploaded this image and said it was yours to license. All of this makes it appear that you have a connection to El-Batrawi and are here representing him in some fashion. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, Henrich77. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
• instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with El-Batrawi or any of his companies, etc? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. Please reply here - I am watching this page. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 00:18, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Jytdog,

I am sorry you had that impression of any connection to Ramy El-Batrawi. I am not connected in any way to him. I wish I am. I am big fan of Ramy El-Batrawi. In 2000 I was trading his stock (GINI) what made me big bucks. Then I was digging in, to find any info about him. Searching on internet. I actually attended his conference in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. He is a great motivational speaker. Recently I tried to look for some info on Wikipedia about him, but I didnt find anything. So I decided to create one. To be on Wikipedia si kind of cool and definitely challenge for me. Ramy El-Batrawi just happened to be a person who I could write about. I know this is my first article about somebody, so I am sure I made a lot of mistakes and I tried to contact somebody from wikipedia who could help me to correct it. So thank you for contacting me and helping me with that. I appreciate it. That picture I downloaded from internet and cut it. I know it says you have to have rights to picture in order to upload one. So I just click I have a rights, but I guess I dont. Please understand this is my first article and I wanted to have it perfect. If you can help me with that too, that would be great. Thank you again.

Henrich
