Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Wamprong. 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, 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. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 02:09, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Conflict of interest for Poh Li San and Lim Wee Kiak

Hi there, I am writing on your wall with regards to possible WP:COI with Poh Li San and Lim Wee Kiak. If you are affiliated with either party, their political party, either paid or unpaid, you will have a Conflict of Interest in creating and editing their pages.

This is not about having a neutral point of view. Please read up on the policy on COI and declare it. It is highly unusual that a very experienced editor, created 2 articles on 2 PAP politicians working in the same GRC within 30 main edits and 3 days, inclusive uploading non-free images from LinkedIn and PAP website. With a possible General Election within a year, this reads of a unpaid/paid editor working for the politicians. If you can declare your COI (or lack of), it will be good to clarify the air. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 02:37, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Justanothersgwikieditor: I do have an affiliation with both parties, but we are not of an extremely close relationship. Noticing both lacked Wikipedian articles and having prominence in the area of my residence, I decided to write a Wikipedia page on them. I have sourced all the information online, and have fact-checked it to the best of my abilities. I do not deny having asked them for minor information, but I too have backed all of these information up with sources I have sourced from online such as the official Parliament websites, and accredited newspapers such as Straits Times. I understand now that this can be a COI, and I will declare now that I am unpaid, and the article has been objectively written by me, and I invite editors to "clean" and scan the article for any form of unintended bias, and/or unsupported claims. I will excuse myself from further and future edits regarding the two concerned articles. I welcome you to edit and "clean" both articles. Do let me know if you have any questions. Wamprong (talk) 04:26, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wamprong:Thanks for declaring your COI with regards to both parties and declared it on both articles. As you have shown a very high degree of competency of Wikipedia editing and understanding of rules and polices and perhaps deliberate avoidance of policy, it is pretty obvious you have edited Wikipedia previously. Please do edit only under 1 single username. I will highly advise you and your fellow "friends" to avoid creating/editing articles on Singapore's politics. The simple common link is that you are working/volunteering in the same organisation as both politicians. Per your wikipedia experience, you know where I am leading to. Please let us avoid all the extra unnecessary work on Wikipedia and it certainly does not reflect well on them. Thanks. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 06:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Justanothersgwikieditor: Unfortunately, I will be denying having asked or is aware of any fellow "friends" editing/creating articles on Singaporean political articles as this is simply not true. I will also deny having a separate account. The creation of both articles have been based on my thorough research of other related articles and mechanics. Though I will definitely admit once again the COI is an oversight on my part. However, as said, I will be stepping aside and stop editing / any involvement into both affected articles due to my COI. As mentioned earlier, feel free to monitor both articles and sanitise and edit wherever you deem necessary. Once again, this is my first and only account on Wikipedia and I look forward to contributing to other articles. Wamprong (talk) 07:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Justanothersgwikieditor: Hi, thanks for bringing this up. I have realised an incorrect licence was used, and I will be reuploading the images. I will be letting them know to send a permission email to Wikipedia as required to use the image on Wikipedia. In the meantime, I have put a request for speedy deletion on both images and the request has been met. Once again, thanks for bringing this up. Wamprong (talk) 02:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
