== Managing a conflict of interest ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, Ramuchellappa. We [[Help:Getting started|welcome]] your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things [[Special:Contributions/Ramuchellappa|you have written about]] on Wikipedia, you may have a [[conflict of interest]] (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. 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]].

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.<!– THE FOLLOWING CATEGORY SHOULD BE REMOVED IF THE USER IS BLOCKED, OR IT IS DECIDED THAT THIS USER DOES NOT HAVE A COI, OR THIS TEMPLATE HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR A WHILE WITH NO ACTION. –>{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: U | now}} – 1757835796) < 13150000 | [[Category:User talk pages with conflict of interest notices|{{PAGENAME}}]] | }}<!– Template:uw-coi –> <span style=”font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;”>[[User:Liz|””’L””’iz]]</span> <sup style=”font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;”>[[Special:Contributions/Liz|””’Read!””’]] [[User talk:Liz|””’Talk!””’]]</sup> 07:43, 14 September 2025 (UTC)
