Hello, ElbertHGary. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on the page
Gary, Indiana, 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);
- 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. Bbb23 ( talk) 16:41, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- I reverted your edit because of your conflict of interest. You must declare your conflict per the notice, and you may not edit the article directly. You'll have to use the article Talk page to propose changes, again as described above. If you have questions, you may ask at the WP:Teahouse. However, if you persist in editing the article, you risk being blocked.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 18:54, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
