Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Tchkovu. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Grace Chia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Lemongirl942 (talk) 08:25, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi lemongirl,

Thanks for pointing out flaws in Vuk Krakovic wiki page, as well as being so thorough on Grace Chia's article. It would have been fair if you did some research on edited article before deleting the contribution. Being apparently a native English speaker and Singaporean yourself, you should be aware that no female poet has won The Singapore Literature prize in English Poetry since its inception, and that the comment was directed towards this odd coincidence which suggests that either: a.No Singapore female poets opus was worthy of receiving the English Poetry prize, or b. There is an obvious preference and sort of commeradery between predominantly male judges when it comes to choosing the winners. I would really appreciate if YOU could address this fact about SLP in English Poetry section, so that people become aware of it, because Singapore certainly produced some outstanding female poets in last 50 years. Thank you. Tchkovu (talk) 11:24, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
