Potential conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Kirill Monorosi. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article International Piano Competition “Johann Sebastian Bach” Würzburg / Germany , 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. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

The following Wikipedia contributor has declared a personal or professional connection to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.

Kirill Monorosi (talk · contribs) This user has declared a connection. (Apparent COI. Association with the Bach competition - I was one of the competitors and a Diploma Prize-winner in 2010, and a member of the Jury in 2016. However, I am not being paid or compensated in any way, and am not furthering any personal interests in creating this page. As this is a not for profit organisation, there is no financial incentive for the competition to have a wikipedia page. I have uploaded only factual information about this competition, including structure, program, jury members, honorary committee and a list of all prizewinners with the goal of providing a quick overview of this cultural event. The information provided is factual and neutral, and does not differ from that provided in existing and approved wikipedia pages for other competitions. E.g.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XV_Gina_Bachauer_International_Piano_Competition)

This template should be placed on the talk page of the relevant article, Kirill. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:28, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A question on citations: I have a number of sources in the form of newspaper articles from the first competitions (e.g. 1992, 1995, 2001, etc) but they are not digitised and there is no link to them. Can I still reference them? (the dates and page numbers are there, so they can be verified, and I am happy to send through a scan. Kirill Monorosi (talk) 02:37, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adressed the outlined issue. The article now has a number of citations (including to newspapers such as Main Post, Musik Heute and the AAF). Apparent COI has been described above. I believe the tone of the article to be factual and information presented is in no way biased. Any further feedback and ways to improve the article are welcome!

Signing posts[edit]

Hi Kirill. Not a big deal, but when I said that posts should be signed with ~~~~, I just meant you use 4 tildes :) . The nowiki markup was necessary to get the 4 tildes to display, as otherwise WP would have substituted my sig, like this: Bromley86 (talk) 00:35, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
