Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Bob Schoenfeld. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Sam Schoenfeld, 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 or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
- 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. Even though your father certainly can't benefit from anything you write, a couple of things to be careful of are: choosing what to write, or how to write it, based on family considerations; and adding information known to you personally that isn't documented in some independent and reliable source. This is necessary for the sake of verifiability, and would be what's known here as original research, which isn't permitted in articles. Largoplazo (talk) 23:03, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
