Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]Hello, Newsguyla. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page WKEY-FM, 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 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. — Jeff G. ツ 19:18, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Understood. I am simply cleaning up the language and factual statements about this entry. I am also trying to upload an updated logo for the radio station...which I own...and can't seem to accomplish this as I did when I first bought the station. What am I doing wrong? I keep getting error messages of various descriptions. I obviously own the copyright to the logo for the radio station since I own the radio station. Thanks.

- Please don't remove the COI tag from the article if you're primarily the reason it was added. It's best to let it be removed by an uninvolved editor with no connection to the station. You can ask someone at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Radio Stations to take a look at the article and assess whether the tag is still necessary if you like. You should also refrain from furhter directly editing the article yourself as well as instead follow the advice given in WP:PSCOI#Steps for engagement. While your intentions may be nothing but good, directly editing the article yourself may lead to problems with other (particularly if you accidentally do something you shouldn't). So, it's better to request changes on the article's talk page and let others assess them first; a bit cumbersome perhaps, but it reduces the risks of something bad (even unintentionally) happening. As the owner of the station, you've got a clear vested commercial interest in all things related to it, which means you're going to be subject to Wikipedia's policy and paid editing disclosure even though you might not literally be paying yourself to edit; therefore, you also need to make sure you comply with WP:PAID and declare your connection to the station because not doing so runs the risk of your account being blocked by an administrator.As for the logo file you uploaded, please check c:User talk:Newsguyla because I've posted some information there for you to read. If you've got any questions about what I posted, please ask them there. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:05, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
The article 100.9NRG (K265FH-FM) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This HD-fed FM radio translator, like most, is not independently notable; information on the translator's current activity is correctly found at the originating station, KJJZ. A merge is not advisable because the title is inaccurate and incorrect, and the page is orphaned.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 23:15, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
