Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Vincenttran123. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Endomondo, 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. AllyD (talk) 07:25, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest and promotional text

I have placed the standard notice regarding editing with a conflict of interest above, to provide useful policy links. I also placed a notice on the Talk:Endomondo page.

It is good that you reverted this edit as it does contain text promoting your firm's services. It would not be consistent with your declaration on your User page.

Regarding the other changes that you have made, I have misgivings about the removal of information about the former product of this name, such as languages and platforms. On the other hand, I can also see that it could be misleading to give the impression that your firm's product supports these languages and platforms. But this page does need to present the full history of the product of this name, which adds complexity when there are two similar but distinct products. It may be that it would be better to distinguish your new product in a new page, with new references. AllyD (talk) 07:40, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message and for the helpful guidance regarding conflict of interest. I appreciate your efforts to ensure the article adheres to Wikipedia’s policies, and I will follow your suggestion to propose any future edits on the Talk page first for community input and transparency.

Regarding your point about the removal of information related to the former product: I understand and respect the importance of maintaining a complete historical record. At the same time, I would like to share that my organization is in the process of trademarking the name Endomondo for a new product, which is distinct from the original service that was discontinued in 2020.

Given that both the legacy product and the new product now share the same name and brand, I would prefer to update the existing page—rather than create a separate article—to reflect the current usage of the name, while still preserving the historical context. I’m happy to collaborate on how to structure this content in a way that clearly distinguishes the former and current products, while maintaining clarity for readers and compliance with Wikipedia standards.

I welcome any suggestions you may have on how best to approach this. Vincenttran123 (talk) 03:26, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
