Hello Polygnotus/Templates!
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. We noticed that you may have a connection to the topic you've written about. This is what we call a "conflict of interest" (COI), which simply means your personal or professional relationship might influence how you write about the topic.
To help maintain Wikipedia's neutrality, here are some suggestions:
- Consider focusing on articles unrelated to yourself, your organization, or people/companies you work with
- Share your suggested changes on article talk pages instead (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)
- Let other editors know about your connection to the topic when discussing it
- Avoid adding links to your organization in other Wikipedia articles
- Continue following Wikipedia's content policies
As a reminder, the Wikimedia Terms of Use require disclosing any paid editing relationships (employer, client, etc.).
Wikipedia works best as a neutral resource rather than a promotional platform. We appreciate your understanding and continued contributions!
