Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Tmcclay. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Todd McClay, 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 Request Wizard), 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. Cabayi (talk) 14:33, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- If you happen to be Todd McClay and your private life in this article is out of date, there is a proper way to do this: talk to a journalist or issue a press release. Once it’s been reported, a Wikipedian will pick it up and update your bio. Don’t touch the article yourself, as parliamentary services will no doubt have told you.
