Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Information icon Hello, Mclarenella. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest 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 which forms all or part of work 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. Galobtter (pingó mió) 13:47, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Editing with a conflict of interest[edit]

Per your edit here, you identified as working for PJ Harvey. As such, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to make a clear disclosure of your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Mclarenella. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mclarenella|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}.

After that, please avoid editing the article directly, but instead post your suggested changes on the article's talk page (Talk:PJ Harvey) using the {{request edit}} template. This will attract the attention of other editors with no connection to the topic, and allow them to review your changes. Please bear in mind that we only accept content that has been published in reliable and independent sources not affiliated with the subject. Social media and other self-published sources are not acceptable, as they lack the required editorial oversight to be considered reliable. Content must also be worded from a neutral point of view and cannot have any promotional intent. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:00, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
