COI

Hello, 41.10.37.237. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Iqbal Survé, 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, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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. Zaian (talk) 06:50, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Zaian Hello. Thank you for your feedback and the information provided. I have just read through what constitutes COI and I am glad that none of that applies to me with regard to this page. I decided to update this page following an interview with the person during which his Wikipedia bio was read and thought to be incomplete, hence I thought it may be a good idea to populate the Wikipedia page with more information about him. It has also been good practice to learn the rules and I hope to populate other Wikipedia pages with further information as I become more familiar with the process. 41.10.37.237 (talk) 10:46, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For Wikipedia context, there is a history of edits on this and related pages with a strong suspicion of COI, and many of those editors have previously been blocked as sockpuppets. Zaian (talk) 11:56, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Zaian Thank you for that further info. Appreciate it. 41.10.107.18 (talk) 19:31, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
