Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide

If you have a close association with the subject of a Wikipedia article, and you wish to edit the article, you are bound by some restrictions. The short version:

  • Be transparent about your conflict of interest.
    • In fact, if you are receiving compensation for creating an article, or if writing an article is part of your job, you are required to disclose this per our terms of use.
  • The practice of editing or creating articles about yourself, your family or friends, your organization, your clients, or your competitors is strongly discouraged.
  • Post suggestions and sources on the article's talk page, or in a draft.
  • Get neutral, uninvolved, disinterested editors to review your suggestions. Respect the volunteer community's time; avoid making protracted or repeated requests.
