Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Richdm. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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 familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Citobun (talk) 19:49, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User page updated[edit]

Thank you, Citobun! I've udpated my user page to state my affiliation. I'm aware that all changes are public, and welcome any feedback. My goal is to ensure that accurate infobox material is used and any stated URLs are accurate. I'll not be creating any new pages, simply correcting our presence for pages that are created by others.

Name change from "Hyatt" to "Hyatt Hotels Corporation"[edit]

Hi Rich. Thanks for adding the COI notice. Per WP:COMMONNAME, please don't change article names to their "official name" en masse. On Wikipedia the official name is usually not so relevant compared to what is common practice in reliable sources. A cursory search indicates that media (newspapers) refers to the chain as Hyatt, and almost never as Hyatt Hotels Corporation. Citobun (talk) 20:14, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
