    This Conflict of interest/Noticeboard (COIN) page is for determining whether a specific editor has a conflict of interest (COI) for a specific article and whether an edit by a COIN-declared COI editor meets a requirement of the Conflict of Interest guideline. A conflict of interest may occur when an editor has a close personal or business connection with article topics. Post here if you are concerned that an editor has a COI, and is using Misplaced Pages to promote their own interests at the expense of neutrality. For content disputes, try proposing changes at the article talk page first and otherwise follow the Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution procedural policy.
    You must notify any editor who is the subject of a discussion. You may use {{subst:coin-notice}} ~~~~ to do so.
    Additional notes:
    • This page should only be used when ordinary talk page discussion has been attempted and failed to resolve the issue, such as when an editor has repeatedly added problematic material over an extended period.
    • Do not post personal information about other editors here without their permission. Non-public evidence of a conflict of interest can be emailed to paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org for review by a functionary. If in doubt, you can contact an individual functionary or the Arbitration Committee privately for advice.
    • The COI guideline does not absolutely prohibit people with a connection to a subject from editing articles on that subject. Editors who have such a connection can still comply with the COI guideline by discussing proposed article changes first, or by making uncontroversial edits. COI allegations should not be used as a "trump card" in disputes over article content. However, paid editing without disclosure is prohibited. Consider using the template series {{Uw-paid1}} through {{Uw-paid4}}.
    • Your report or advice request regarding COI incidents should include diff links and focus on one or more items in the COI guideline. In response, COIN may determine whether a specific editor has a COI for a specific article. There are three possible outcomes to your COIN request:
    1. COIN consensus determines that an editor has a COI for a specific article. In response, the relevant article talk pages may be tagged with {{Connected contributor}}, the article page may be tagged with {{COI}}, and/or the user may be warned via {{subst:uw-coi|Article}}.
    2. COIN consensus determines that an editor does not have a COI for a specific article. In response, editors should refrain from further accusing that editor of having a conflict of interest. Feel free to repost at COIN if additional COI evidence comes to light that was not previously addressed.
    3. There is no COIN consensus. Here, Lowercase sigmabot III will automatically archive the thread when it is older than 14 days.
    • Once COIN declares that an editor has a COI for a specific article, COIN (or a variety of other noticeboards) may be used to determine whether an edit by a COIN-declared COI editor meets a requirement of the Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest guideline.
    Are you in the right place?

    Bob Fink (history|Watchlist this article|unwatch)

    Bob Fink (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - this and other articles on/by this Canadian musicologist need external review of notability and content. They were created by, and have continuing edits from, 65.255.255.* addresses , which correspond to Bob Fink and his publisher. This same IP range edits extensively to raise Fink's profile by self-links in a walled garden an interlinked set of various musicology articles, with continuing refusal to abide by WP:COI and WP:Autobiography guidelines. Admin attention over the COI would be particularly appreciated. // 82.25.234.106 15:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

    Walled garden? Where? MER-C 06:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

    Primerica Financial Services (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    This article is apparently supervised by company employees. It has been edited by a company IP (12.163.2.10 (talk · contribs)), by a SPA who named himself for the company (until made to change), and even by someone claiming to be the company's representative. They've repeatedly removed even the mildest criticisms of the company. -Will Beback · † · test1a}}, etc. MER-C 09:49, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

    Robert F. Treat (history|Watchlist this article|unwatch)

    And I'll prod the userpage in two months time if no other encyclopedic contributions are made. No article, no conflict of interest, no problem. MER-C 01:37, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

    Panther (computer game) (history|Watchlist this article|unwatch)

    • Wgungfu (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - User repeatedly removed any mention of Battlezone, a video game probably inspired by Panther (although the article does not assert this); he has even removed See also links. Edit summary of removal of See also link: "RV due to speculation comes from the claimed relationship of Bzone being a copy of Panther, which is speculative at best"; no such claim was made in the article. Likewise, has repeatedly removed or muted mention of Panther from the Battlezone page. User page suggests close links to Atari. Has said on Talk:Battlezone that he sides with Atari POV that "Factually, there is no direct link between Panther and Battelzone." (sic) // ProhibitOnions 12:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

    Delicious Vinyl (history|Watchlist this article|unwatch)

    I'm not sure that this should go here or on the general board. I received an email to my Misplaced Pages account stating

    thank you for your help on The Pharcyde's page on Misplaced Pages. We are really looking for some that knows Misplaced Pages editing well to make more overdue Misplaced Pages enteries for our record labels' artists. of course, we are not talking about any illicit 'marketing' messaging, only justifiable quality entries. If you have some feelings or suggestions on this please email me (name and email from Delicious Vinyl)

    Delicious Vinyl is behind such classics as Tone Lōc's Wild Thing and Young MC's Bust A Move, if anyone else is a fan of late 80s hiphop. Any thoughts? - BanyanTree 16:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

    I wouldn't do anything right now. No article, no conflict of interest problems. As for notability, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. MER-C 01:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

    Lyndon LaRouche (history|Watchlist this article|unwatch)

    Dennis King, who edits Misplaced Pages as Dking (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), has made over 50 edits to this article in the past three days. He was the author of a hostile biography of LaRouche back in the 1980s, and his edits are very problematic from the standpoint of WP:COI#Citing_oneself. --Tsunami Butler 09:51, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

    Georgetown University (history|Watchlist this article|unwatch) and related pages

    The IP user 68.98.161.246 has made more than 300 edits, all of which relate to Georgetown University and Georgetown's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service in a positive nature. I think the IP should be checked to see if it comes from the university. For example, there has been a discussion at the School of Foreign Service article about academic boosterism by the user. Here are their contributions: Special:Contributions/68.98.161.246. Another similar IP user has made similar boosteristic edits, Special:Contributions/68.49.15.185.
