Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Valentina azarova. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Valentina Azarova (academic), 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. PerpetuityGrat (talk) 14:10, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I am not looking to change the content of this post but merely requesting that something defamatory for being poorly done, be removed because it is harmful to me (being about me and highly inaccurate/incomplete) and of course to those looking for info about me.

Thank you. Valentina azarova (talk) 14:34, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you note which portion of the article is inaccurate? Thanks. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 14:35, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of it. But surely I don't need to tell you how to change an article about me that I am asking you to remove?

Are you suggesting that there is no way for me to do this? Valentina azarova (talk) 14:38, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As you are an academic, I know that I don't need to tell you what cited content is. If there is cited content that is disputable, you can start a discussion in the talk page of the article. If the content is defamatory, I can't change that necessarily. If the content is factually wrong, but cited, I'd take it to the talk page. Happy to help and continue the discussion. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 14:53, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also echo the desire to be helpful. If there is anything inaccurate in the article tell us and share a link to accurate info and I'd be quick to make edits. In summary:

- ~~Requesting deletion - unlikely to be successful, the conversation will centre around if you are a notable person and I think you are~~ (update, based on what I'm seeing, I may have a minority view here, so I"m scoring it out to avoid giving you any bad advice).

- Pointing out errors, sharing links to accurate sources that correct them - likely to be remedied quickly

That said, you mentioned the potential for harm, if there is something that could cause you harm (something more than an inaccurate detail that can be quickly fixed) please say and I'm sure people would be quick to be helpful, noting: WP:WIARM CT55555 (talk) 15:56, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
