Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jstieger.3. 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 COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Mys_721tx (talk) 23:19, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Revisions to Bin He: paid edits?

Greetings! You state that you have been "tasked with" updating the biography of Bin He. Are you being paid to update the biography? If so, you need to very clearly declare who you are working for (i.e., who is paying you). WP:PAID has more information.

If you are not being paid to edit but are doing so at the direction of Bin He or an agent thereof, then you still have a conflict of interest and need to follow those editing rules. —C.Fred (talk) 16:32, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How to use Wikipedia

Hi

I have no idea what i'm doing here and I don't really have any time to learn. Could you please tell me EXACTLY what I need to do to prevent your future revisions?

No, I cannot, because there are too many variables:

You really can't edit the article at all because of your conflict of interest; you should only be requesting edits via the talk page and letting independent editors make them.
You have to provide reliable sources to support you edits.
You have to write the text in a neutral, non-promotional tone, and to maintain neutral point of view.

Really, your best solution is to propose edits at Talk:Bin He. If they're appropriate, other editors will assist you with making them. If there are issues, other editors can help you identify what you need to fix. —C.Fred (talk) 16:39, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

disclose COI

Can you tell me where and how to disclose the COI?

What part of the "How to disclose" instructions at WP:PAID were unclear? —C.Fred (talk) 16:40, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

March 2018

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( in the enhanced toolbar, or if you use the old "classic" toolbar) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:02, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Bin He, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. It is bad practice to remove your own comments when others have replied to them. It is unacceptable to remove other users' comments, as you did in this edit. —C.Fred (talk) 19:58, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
