Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Tim11311. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Cape Cod Canal, 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 WP:Spam);
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. Bbb23 (talk) 13:35, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so how do we get a third party to decide if the book Images of America: Cape Cod Canal, can be listed on the Wikipedia page for the Cape Cod Canal? Yes, I wrote it. In the real world, that makes me a scholar, not some kind of fraud. Vet this one question and I promise to never edit another Wikipedia entry again.

First, you need to follow the instructions in the notice above to declare your conflict. Second, you can raise the issue on the Talk page of Cape Cod Canal and/or at WP:RSN.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:59, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
