[edit]

Hello, I'm Excirial. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Behavioral economics because it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Behavioral economics with this edit. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links may include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Kellypeters. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Behavioral economics, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
  • 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. GermanJoe (talk) 19:32, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hello, editing articles with a clear direct conflict of interest is not acceptable. Wikipedia is no PR platform to promote yourself or your activities. Please suggest all further edits about yourself, your company, your research and your publications, etc. on article talk instead (see info about edit requests above). Thank you for your consideration. GermanJoe (talk) 19:35, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
