Hello, Tazchillin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have.

Hello, Tazchillin. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Tor Ekeland, 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 conflict of interest guideline and 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 talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{ edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Adam Black ( talk) 21:21, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

I completely understand the need for people to not have personal or business associations with the subject. Yes, he is a client. I was asked if this section could be removed or changed to accurately describe his current personal life. I attempted to make that change and apparently, it is against the rules to do so. Bottom line he doesn't want personal life information put out there. The engagement ended in 2021. I will continue to research or take further steps to remove inaccurate information from his page that fit within your guidelines. Tazchillin ( talk) 21:33, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

To be fully clear on this situation. I did not make these changes as part of a marketing agreement. It was as a personal favor. Tazchillin ( talk) 21:34, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

WP:PUBLICFIGURE states "If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it." If there are reliable sources stating that the engagement was called off, these should be presented at Talk:Tor Ekeland under Template: Edit COI rather than removing the engagement.   – Skywatcher68 ( talk) 21:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Thank you for the clarifying. Tazchillin ( talk) 22:00, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

You have described your relationship as "he is a client" and then claimed this content removal was "a personal [favour]". This is contradictory.

You may request edits by going to the talk page of the relevant article's talk page and placing the {{ edit COI}} template but in this case editors will not remove the content in question. It is supported by a citation to a reliable source, and we do not remove content simply because the subject does not agree with it or because they do not want it on their article. Please see WP:AUTOPROB and WP:FAQ/AS for details of other actions you or your client can take if they believe there is legitimate reason for the content to be removed.

Just to be clear, where you have a conflict of interest you must abide by relevant policy at all times. Failure to adhere with Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy and/or paid contribution disclosure requirements may result in the withdrawal of your editing privileges without further notice.

Understood. Tazchillin ( talk) 22:09, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

"You have described your relationship as "he is a client" and then claimed this content removal was "a personal [favour]". This is contradictory."

This is not contradictory as both statements are factual and true. He is a client for an entirely different purpose. When in casual conversation outside business hours it was asked if this could be changed and I suggested we try. Since I do not use Wikipedia for any other purpose it was unknown to me all of your policies for which I apologize.

In future I am reading through your guidelines and policies more carefully and appreciate the guidance you have provided. Tazchillin ( talk) 22:23, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply
