Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Ian Kelling. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Free Software Foundation, 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 {{request edit}} 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. I now see your declared COI, but... Also Libreboot though I agree with your edit there. -- Yae4 (talk) 14:27, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, i'm 95.167.183.172 (talk), and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your ancient edits, it appears that you added original research (one that i, supposedly, did "re-add", and which we are currently discussing; including 2 formulas and 2 bloated tables), which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. --95.167.183.172 (talk) 19:00, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon, wrong user. Those formulas and tables were added by even older user. --95.167.183.172 (talk) 19:30, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
