Hello, RobSimmons223311. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Ferrexpo, 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 or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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. Dormskirk (talk) 13:10, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Dormskirk - the issue here is that you are posting edits that are factually incorrect and are therefore damaging and harmful. If you believe that anything I have proposed is incorrect, I would be happy to discuss these items, but as things stand you are misleading readers on Ferrexpo with your updates.

Hi - Which of my edits is factually incorrect? You will see that I have tweaked the wording on the departure of Kostyantin Zhevago if this is what you are referring to. I have only added financial information from the company's annual report or information from "reliable, independent, published sources". As regards your own edits, these also need to come from "reliable, independent, published sources". (see WP:RS). The auditors, in their report on page 115 of the Annual Report 2020, specifically limit their opinion to the financial statements (see https://www.ferrexpo.com/media/cldlcekj/ferrexpo-plc-ara-2020-1.pdf) so we need an independent source for any mention of mineral reserves. However, first of all, you need to disclose if you have any affiliation with the company. Dormskirk (talk) 15:59, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
