Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, BookishPotato. 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 organizations 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);
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. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 14:43, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

I apologize, I began contributing as part of an online library class and my connection to the subject attracted my insight that the page needed more info. I didn't get paid for the edit, I just happen to be doing my homework at work, hence the IP address. I was unfamiliar with the COI process and I would like to make sure I go the correct route. I will try to add my COI to the Pasco Libraries page now. BookishPotato (talk) 18:07, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
