Revision as of 07:51, 18 November 2007
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Misplaced Pages, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
- linking to the Misplaced Pages article or website of your organization in other articles (see Misplaced Pages:Spam);
- and you must always:
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.
For information on how to contribute to Misplaced Pages when you have conflict of interest, please see Misplaced Pages:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Misplaced Pages:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. Skinwalker 16:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
In Particular
I have no problem at all with you contributing to homeopathic articles, but please understand that repeatedly adding links to homeopathic.com, your personal commercial website, can and probably will be viewed as a conflict of interest. If you want to contribute positively, look at the article rewrite project linked to on Talk:Homeopathy - the rewrite is in need of writers who can cogently explain the pro-homeopathic position. Please read the links in the template above, and ask me if you have any questions. Cheers, Skinwalker 16:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Homeopathy rewrite draft
Hello, I noticed that you've had some edits to the Homeopathy page and I just wanted to let you know that I've re-written the article with the help of numerous editors and it is a great improvement on the current article. I thought that you might want to contribute to the draft before it goes live. Please don't edit the draft directly, except for minor changes. Make proposed changes on the talk page of the draft so that we can all discuss them and add them if there is a consensus. The link to the draft can be found here: Link to rough draft. Thanks.

Conflict of Interest
Hi. Please read wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, in particular the section that states:
"Editors proposing to write about themselves, their own organizations, or matters they have very close ties to, are strongly advised not to edit or create such articles at all (except for certain non-controversial edits) but to instead use the talk page to request help from neutral editors."
I will open a discussion on the conflict of interest noticeboard in order to generate input from uninvolved parties. Skinwalker (talk) 22:42, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
