Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Marcia Pappas. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Marcia Pappas, 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 article subjects 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)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
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. Tacyarg (talk) 03:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. How is it a conflict of interest if I am writing about myself? 2603:7081:4200:902F:A13F:8AC0:374F:F0DC (talk) 10:57, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this is explained in the conflict of interest guideline linked above. The sections WP:COISELF and WP:COINOTBIAS may be most useful. Please remember to log in. Tacyarg (talk) 11:56, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
