    Report a possible conflict of interest
    Before posting, determine whether this is the most appropriate place: Shortcuts
    This noticeboard may be used to:
    • Request help with users that are affected by the conflict of interest guideline. Editors may not use Misplaced Pages to promote their own interests at the expense of neutrality.
    • Ask for advice or get help with proposed article changes if you are affected by a conflict of interest. Propose changes at the article talk page, and then leave a message here if more neutral editors are needed to establish consensus.

    Please note that the conflict of interest guideline does not absolutely prohibit subject-matter experts or other people with a connection to a subject from editing articles on that subject. Editors who have a connection to the subject fully comply with the conflicts of interest guideline when they discuss proposed changes on a talk page or make non-controversial edits in mainspace consistent with other Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines. Furthermore, accusing another editor of having a conflict of interest in order to gain the upper hand in a content dispute is prohibited and may result in sanctions against you.

    How to help out
    What is the conflict of interest noticeboard?

    This noticeboard is for reporting and discussing the application of the Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest guideline to incidents and situations where editors may have close personal or business connections with article topics. It is for conflict of interest issues that require outside intervention, such as disputes with tendentious editors and cases where editors are repeatedly adding problematic material over a longer period of time. It is not for simple vandalism, material that can easily be fixed or removed without argument, or non-conflict of interest breaches of neutral point of view policy.

    Useful templates
    • You can tag COI affected articles with {{COI}}.
    • You can warn editors about COI concerns with {{subst:uw-coi}}.
    When reporting other editors
    • When investigating possible cases of COI editing, Wikipedians must be careful not to out other editors. Misplaced Pages's policy against harassment takes precedence over the COI guideline
    • Please limit statements to 200 words or less. Long, drawn-out speeches may be ignored.
    • If you are discussing the actions of another editor here, please notify them.
    To close a report
    • Add Template:Resolved at the head of the complaint, with the reason for closing and your signature
    • Old issues are taken away by the archive bot
    More ways to help
    • All Misplaced Pages editors are encouraged to help resolve reports of COI editing. More problematic articles can be found in Category:Misplaced Pages articles with possible conflicts of interest.
    • A list of possible autobiographies found by bot. This is the large mechanically-generated list of articles having a suspected COI that used to be shown here in full. You are still invited to peruse the list and, if you have an opinion on whether it's a real COI, edit that file directly. When you see a case in that list that needs input from other editors, you may want to create a regular noticeboard entry for it, below.
    • Category:Requested edits. Editors who believe they have a Conflict of Interest may ask someone else to make edits for them. Please visit this category and respond to one of these requests. Whether you perform it or not, you should undo the {{Request edit}} when you are done to remove the article from the category. Leave a Talk comment for the requestor to explain your decision.


    Please help with the requests in Category:Requested edits, where COI editors have placed the {{Request edit}} template:
