Managing a conflict of interest

Information icon Hello, Bioinfo 7. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Andrew Breeze, 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. I note that you have made few if any edits to the encyclopedia which are not about AB. If you are AB or a friend or associate, please be aware that you should not be editing the article but that you may make comments on the talk page, with sources, for any suggested changes to it.

Hi PamD. Thank you for this. I will now abstain from making further edits on AB pages, as I am a colleague. I am not paid by AB or to edit wikis and I try to keep a neutral point of view, providing references wherever I can, and counterarguments/deficiencies. I don't edit too much on wikipedia, so I have not written many pages, but I am grateful for the work of editors like you as I use this resource often. Thank you for this and I hope this resolves the COI page issue (I might request further advice from you in the future when dealing with these matters). Bioinfo 7

Hi PamD. Unfortunately some of Morgain13's edits (non-COI author) on AB's page were taken out, so if you could please add I would be very grateful to make sure the page has different contributors so the COI banner can be taken off.. Also I see now the Camlann page has reduced AB content which is good as other views included! Thanks! Bioinfo 7 Bioinfo 7 (talk) 21:59, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
