Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jordan.williams. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Tim Wallace-Murphy, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 14:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concern, you don't want biased information going up on an influential site, but please rest assured that this is done as a personal favor to Mr Wallace-Murphy, an 87 year old man, and I am not being commissioned for the work. Jordan.williams (talk) 14:31, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which means you have a VERY clear conflict of interest. Theroadislong (talk) 14:33, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You added sources to this article, but none of them are reliable sources. Sources that are just websites that sell Wallace-Murphy's books are not independent and do not serve to establish his notability. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 01:01, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

More references have been added since, that do not sell his works but simply inform you of them. Hope this is okay, and thank you for the imput Jordan.williams (talk) 16:35, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
