Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Jurvetson. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Steve Jurvetson, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Also, please do not IP sock as that is a blockable offense.

Thanks for the heads up. I have never tried to “IP Sock” and I don’t know how. I thought my username being Jurvetson made it clear of my identity, but I will disclose in the future. Under that definition I do have a conflict of interest because I am him. In the future I'll see about proposing changes on the talk page. I don't see the problem with adding back my photo though... It's been on the page for several years, and was only removed because of an error I personally made on my Flickr changing the license away from CC-BY accidentally. Now that I fixed that I reuploaded it. Jurvetson (talk) 15:45, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In short, IP socking is editing while logged out on the same articles.
