COI question

Thank you, Deli nk. I do indeed. However, I am not acting on behalf of the company. This is just my personal contribution to Misplaced Pages. I only add citations - most if not all are from a history blog - to historical entries. I do not add or edit text entries precisely to avoid any conflict of interests.

Would appreciate your time and advice on how to best proceed going forward with this while being fully transparent about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markipedia 1 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Adding references to articles is a good thing, and the Washington Post is a reliable source, so I don't think there's really an issue with your editing itself. I think if you were just transparent about your affiliation, such as by noting it on your user page, that would be a good way of complying with the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest.

Thank you for your time and patience, Deli nk. Much appreciated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markipedia 1 (talk • contribs) 15:39, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Panda Security

Hi Deli nk

I am not being paid or financially recompensed by any company for my edits — Preceding unsigned comment added by MartySNGC2 (talk • contribs) 06:45, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

What is your connection to the company? It's clear since you have spent years only adding promotional content to Panda Security that there is some connection. Misplaced Pages guidelines say you should be transparent about it. Deli nk (talk) 11:43, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Now I have put external links can you check please https://en.wikipedia.org/Draft:Hisham_Baeshen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hisham Baeshen (talk • contribs) 11:25, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Another editor has reviewed the article following your revisions and has declined it again for the same reason. I suggest that you have a look at Misplaced Pages:Autobiography, which you may find helpful. Deli nk (talk) 11:48, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Out of curiosity...

Have you ever considered making a run for adminship? We really need candidates who work in COI and anti-spam areas. Just thought I'd ask... GAB 19:54, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for asking. Personally, I think I would be a fine level-headed administrator and I know I could contribute more effectively to Misplaced Pages if I were an admin. But I have no interest in subjecting myself to RFA. Deli nk (talk) 22:21, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

That's unfortunate, but entirely understandable. Please let me know if you might change your mind :) GAB 23:38, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

I'm new to editing wiki

Hi There, I tried adding some info I thought was relevant to the 'prune' page... as an external link I could put this info: https://www.checkiday.com/302bc93ea06b75a245dfe9db8c5cf54c/four-prunes-day

I'm confused what could be added as a reference to prunes externally when this is a website link referencing prunes. (I don't mean this to sound confrontational; not my intention!
