Conflicts of interest (COI) arise when contributors edit pages about topics they are personally or professionally connected to. Wikipedia requires neutrality and verifiable sources to avoid biased content.
For example, if you ask, “Help me write a Wikipedia page for a book,” it’s important to rely on independent reviews, media coverage, or scholarly references rather than personal promotion. Transparency, neutral language, and collaboration with experienced editors help maintain credibility.
Following these guidelines ensures Wikipedia pages remain accurate, trustworthy, and compliant with its standards.
