A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Cmproject. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! My name is not dave (talk) 21:28, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest notice

Hello, Cmproject. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Michael Porter, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. My name is not dave (talk) 21:28, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing notice

Hello Cmproject. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Michael Porter, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Cmproject. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cmproject|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. My name is not dave (talk) 21:28, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings @My name is not dave:. I have recently taken over the CMProjects account as part of my new role at the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School run by Michael Porter. I have been reading through your messages on this account's talk page, and have several questions, as I am new to Wikipedia editing. I must first say that I am employed by Harvard Business School as Professor Porter's digital content coordinator, and have been asked by him to update and correct his page. However, from what I have read this would be a conflict of interest. Therefore, I wanted to ask if there is a formal process to make edits on behalf of Professor Porter, and not violate any conflicts of interest. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Cmproject (talk) 20:55, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cmproject. See WP:COIREQ for info. It will tell you the process for making edit requests for conflict of interest editors. Thanks. talk to !dave 19:49, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
