Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, TEFF Director. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 Request Wizard), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
• 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 22:39, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "TEFF Director", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because It is a title, usernames may not be that of a position or role.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 22:51, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

TEFF Director: my understanding is that if you created an account named "JanefromTEFF" or something like that, it would be acceptable. Only individual people can have accounts, not organisations or roles within organisations. Maproom (talk) 23:47, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

This is correct. 331dot (talk) 00:00, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
