See the ”'[[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest guideline]]”’ and ”'[[Wikipedia:FAQ/Article subjects|FAQ for article subjects]]”’ for more information. We ask that you:
*”’avoid editing or creating”’ articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
* ”’propose changes”’ on the [[Help:Talk pages|talk pages]] of affected articles (you can use the [[Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard|Edit Request Wizard]]), including links or details of [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that support your suggestions;
* ”’disclose”’ your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see {{Section link|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI}});
*”’avoid linking”’ to your organization’s website in other articles (see {{Section link|Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming}});
*”’do your best”’ to comply with Wikipedia’s [[Wikipedia:Core content policies|content policies]].
In addition, you are ”’required”’ by the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]’s [[foundation:Policy:Terms of Use|terms of use]] to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure]].
