This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Historygeek64. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Snowflake Inc., 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 article subjects 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), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
- 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. tedder (talk) 11:00, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, thank you for reaching out. I can confirm that I do not have a conflict of interest. Was there an issue with my edit that caused not being approved? Historygeek64 (talk) 20:45, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- I understand adding "AI data" was not necessary to intro, but removing "Headquartered in Bozeman, Montana" improves the intro because it reduces redundancy with short facts already present in the company info body placard. Historygeek64 (talk) 20:51, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Adding a list of products referenced to the website definitely has the appearance of a conflict of interest or connection. The location is debatable- just at a glance I looked at Microsoft and Amazon.com and they both give the location in the first sentence or two. At a glance I don't see a WP:CORP article guideline though. tedder (talk) 22:53, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
