Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Chriscoritsidis. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Christopher Coritsidis, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Mduvekot (talk) 19:37, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Largoplazo,

I fail to see how the page on Christopher Coritsidis is in violation of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I have reviewed the article and made edits to make it more neutral in tone.

If you would be so kind to let me know where lies the issue with this article, we will gladly rectify it.

Thanks,

Alex

Hello. The tone of the article isn't a concern. It's that Christopher Coritsidis doesn't appear to conform to Wikipedia's notability policy that sets forth criteria for inclusion of a topic on this site. My explanation is at the deletion discussion page, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher Coritsidis. It links to the pertinent guidelines. Largoplazo (talk) 21:40, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Again thank you for trying to adhere to the credibility of my recent article. I have no personal nor professional affiliation with the subject of the page 'Christopher Coritsidis' as misinterpreted from my message regarding autobiographical content. I have not been paid nor do I have any motivation to promote the subject for any reason other than as a topic of general interest. ˜˜˜˜
