Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, PazSeguro. 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 02:34, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

I do not know where this is coming from but I am retired and do not have any affiliation with any of the companies I have written about. I resent the unfounded accusation. PazSeguro (talk) 16:06, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

I am watching election returns tonight but I will review all of the replies that have been provided in various locations later.

I did go through the COI policy again. The one thing I am unclear on is what constitutes a financial relationship. Like most folks out of the workforce, I have most of my funds in a diversified portfolio including Amex which I expect represents less than 1% of my portfolio. Would a minor stake representing less than a percent of my portfolio constitute a conflict of interest for an Amex subsidiary like Tock? It is theoretically a financial relationship, akin to holding a cryptocurrency which is explicitly mentioned in Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#What_is_conflict_of_interest? but the far more common case of a stock ownership is not... What is the threshold?

This was not something that I considered and I am happy to avoid editing this article going forward if it is considered a conflict of interest. However, I must say this would render much of the S&P 500 uneditable by anyone who is financially literate.

I do not have any affiliation with the other two companies. PazSeguro (talk) 01:06, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
