Conflict of interest explanation
[edit]
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
- and you must always:
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. --McGeddon (talk) 12:50, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Please reread this. You should avoid or exercise great caution when "linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam)" - this also applies to books you have written which you are trying to promote in other articles. Leave it to other, non-conflict-of-interest editors to document and link to your book. --McGeddon (talk) 20:44, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
