Conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Joebolkcom. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Joe Bolkcom, 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. - Arjayay (talk) 13:11, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Links to draft articles[edit]

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Joe Bolkcom. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed.
Please note, there is no such article as Draft:Iowa News & Views, it was deleted on June 17 Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 13:15, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
