Mvume Dandala[edit]

Hi David. Do you have sources (preferably online ones) for all the detail you added to the entry on Mvume Dandala? Over the next two months the electioneering may very well turn nasty; hopefully that won't spill over onto Wikipedia, but it doesn't do to live in hope. Unreferrenced material may be removed from an entry (or altered) by any editor, and challenging such change is hard without sources.

If you do have references but aren't comfortable inserting them, please just dump them on Talk:Mvume Dandala. No need to do all the heavy lifting yourself, necessarily. 9Nak (talk) 10:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, David Barritt. 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 organizations 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 COI}} 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 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:51, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
