From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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!
