Conflict of interest policy[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Thanks. I'm re-familiarizing myself with these now. I honestly tried to add what knowledge I could on what subjects I have some experience with.

I'm also looking for a philosophical discussion about the apparent conflict between "conflicts of interest" and "tacit knowledge" to help me understand this Wikipedia policy at a deeper level. There seems to be a great deal of discussion on the web about this apparent conflict [1] [2] and related subjects about the conflicts of interest policy [3]. It seems contributor conflicts of interest on Wikipedia are a relatively common occurrence.

Nevertheless, I'll be sure to do as best I can to continue contributing to the community on subjects which I have no affiliation, and follow the policies linked to above as best as I can. Thanks for looking out for me on this, as I was unaware of the complexity of this policy.

All the best,

Glenn
