Possible conflict of interest on Ritchie Yorke page
[edit]
Hello, Douglasgh. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Ritchie Yorke, 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. BlackCab (TALK) 08:14, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hey BlackCab. I do have a conflict of interest in an academic capacity. I am a conducting higher degree research in Brisbane, and as part of my project I will be looking at Yorke's involvement in music industry. Consequently I have done a literature review on him, from which my changes of the article were constructed upon. By its nature the literature review requires a neutral point of view. consequently, I prominently used relevant electronic sources, mostly through ProQuest or the university database. Admitably, these sources may not be easily access as they are on an online database that requires payment - but there are case where I would considered the references citable (and accessible) and the publication reputable. I realise now that I was mistaken in directly editing the article but am now familiar with the process. I will propose changes on the article's talk page from now own and have the sources verified.
