Well, first, what is your connection? You've said "my company" ... could you elaborate on that? And if you read both the [[WP:PSCOI|short]] and [[WP:COI|long]] versions of our conflict of interest policy, you'd realize that you probably wouldn't be able to edit an article about your company in any way. So, if you can't do that, what ''would'' you edit? [[User:Daniel Case|Daniel Case]] ([[User talk:Daniel Case|talk]]) 06:18, 22 September 2022 (UTC) |

:Hi Daniel, I work at a fine art gallery. I am not the owner, I am an employee. I don't intend to edit articles about the gallery. I would like to edit pages on the artists that we represent; my boss had given me the task to edit the page on the artist Eduardo Arroyo which is how my account became indefinitely blocked, as I used the gallery name as my username. I don't intend to use the artist pages to promote the gallery in any way. What I would like to do is simply to provide more general information on the artists including adding a more holistic bibliography and contextualizing their work.

::Editing articles about artists whose work is displayed in your employer's gallery would amount to a very significant conflict of interest. You would need to be very up front about your connection to them, and probably make proposals on the talk pages rather than edit them yourself. Can you describe the changes you want to make there - what prose do you want to add, and what sources would you use to support if? You may wish to read [[WP:V]] and [[WP:RS]] before responding.
