Conflict of interest editing for Cardone

[edit]

You should gain some experience editing elsewhere in Wikipedia and learn some of the policies. For example, WP:SELFPUB and WP:PRIMARY are types of sources you should stay away from when editing a biography, such as the Draft:Grant Cardone article. You cannot simply add secondary sources, you need to stay away from Cardone-published content in the first place—this includes interviews, press releases and other content written on behalf of Cardone as part of his marketing machine regardless of who actually publishes it or which website it appears on.

Wikipedia editors do not WP:OWN an article, and are granted no rights to exercise control over the content in any article, including no rights to remove unflattering content you don't wish known about your employer.

You should first read WP:Conflict of interest which applies to you here, such as the line "you are strongly discouraged from editing affected articles directly" and "you may propose changes on talk pages".   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 21:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
