Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Ideation269. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Malcolm Collett, 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.--Belbury (talk) 12:39, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is most difficult understanding all of your info. I find editing my profile very cryptic. I do follow the rules but it is difficult to understand what you are asking me to do? All info and people I have known for years. All info is my animation background and nothing is falsified. 2604:3D08:6F7E:E280:9015:BFD8:7BBC:A62E (talk) 16:19, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you are Malcolm Collett, the easiest things to do would be:

Put a message on your user page at User:Ideation269 informing people that you are Malcolm Collett
Stop editing the Malcolm Collett article directly and instead suggest edits on the talk page at Talk:Malcolm Collett

People generally aren't meant to edit their own biography articles at Wikipedia, for various reasons. See Wikipedia:Autobiography for a (hopefully quite readable) overview of the policy and the thinking behind it. Belbury (talk) 16:46, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So does the general public see the talk page? Seems odd you would edit pages on a separate page? How am I suppose to correct my own profile. I am Malcolm Collett!! 2604:3D08:6F7E:E280:9015:BFD8:7BBC:A62E (talk) 16:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So what are the issues? I have corrected them! Do I need someone else to edit rather than me? Doesn’t make sense. 2604:3D08:6F7E:E280:9015:BFD8:7BBC:A62E (talk) 16:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is the conflict of interest? All is correct??? 2604:3D08:6F7E:E280:9015:BFD8:7BBC:A62E (talk) 16:53, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the idea is that someone else will make the edit on your behalf, after checking it.

See Wikipedia:Autobiography for Wikipedia's reason for working this way. Belbury (talk) 16:56, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So how do someone else edit my background not knowing all of the details?? Can I have my wife edit? So what does she need to do. Login differently?? 2604:3D08:6F7E:E280:9015:BFD8:7BBC:A62E (talk) 16:58, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You post those details on the talk page, and another Wikipedia editor will check them to make sure that they're appropriate to add to the article - and they'll update the article if it seems okay.

No, you shouldn't ask your wife or a friend to edit on your behalf. Belbury (talk) 17:03, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So where are the issues? I find it difficult to find and correct. I corrected some but why do these messages keep saying there are issues not removed. Can you specify??? 2604:3D08:6F7E:E280:9015:BFD8:7BBC:A62E (talk) 17:06, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The main issue is that most of this article is unsourced.

You're removing "citation needed" tags without adding sources in their place, please don't do that. "Citation needed" means that Wikipedia needs a secondary source to verify a statement, not that we just need to double-check with you personally. Belbury (talk) 18:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK… I am doing that now. However some are hard to find so I will delete the text. This is very difficult to edit!!!! Ideation269 (talk) 18:25, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
