Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 09:10, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.
If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.
You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

- @Knorr-Bremse AG Munich: Unlike German Wikipedia, English Wikipedia does not allow accounts to represent a business. Accounts are for individuals only, and the account name must reflect individual use. You can request to be unblocked and propose a new account name using the instructions above. However, please note that your account name will change across all language-versions of Wikipedia.
- You must also review and comply with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure policy. This requires a clear and visible declaration of which articles you are editing for payment, and who is paying you. Writing about your employer triggers this policy even if you are not being paid specifically to edit Wikipedia.
- Also, when you add new content to talk pages, please post your comments at the bottom of the page. This is necessary to keep the discussion in the correct chronological order. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:25, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
