Conflict of interest

Hello, Lloydscottmbe. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Lloyd Scott, 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. GiantSnowman 16:41, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I understand - completely.

But when someone goes onto your (my) profile and basically changes it all, takes the piss out of me and generally mocks me (which is understanderble if I walk around London in a deep-sea diving suit) but adds incorrect and insulting information - surely there must be some kind of method to ensure this is corrected?

Hi Lloyd. You can request changes at the article's Talk page, that is Talk:Lloyd Scott. takes the piss out of me and generally mocks me I don't see any ridicule in the article, to be honest. But you can make your point at the Talk page. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 17:03, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Apologies. I did not mean anything in these conversations, rather something happened to me some time ago - saying that I had dome everything on a llama! Lloydscottmbe (talk) 17:10, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Okay, no problem. I haven't seen older versions of the article. The article only came to my attention a few hours ago because I follow GiantSnowman's Talk page. Robby.is.on (talk) 00:48, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
