-'''Conflict of Interest (COI)''' refers to an individual’s connection to any significant affiliation they may have with a given project, such as a World, Avatar, Prefab, or Community. '''Conflict of Interest editing (COI editing)''' is when someone closely connected to a project creates a page for that project or makes significant edits to it.
+__NOTOC____NOEDITSECTION__
+<languages/>
-COI isn’t just a standalone policy but works alongside other important guidelines like [[VRCWiki:Notability|Notability]], [[VRCWiki:Neutral point of view|Neutral Point of View]] (NPOV), or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research No Original Research] (NOR). These policies work together to prevent issues like biased content or undue promotion of a person’s own project. For instance, Notability must be determined by independent sources, not by the person creating the project, which is where the COI policy helps by restricting creators from self-defining their projects’ Notability.

-While it’s not assumed that someone with a COI will intentionally promote or advertise their project, there’s a greater risk of unintentionally embellishing information, leaving out key facts, or treating the page as if it’s a personal primary source.

	Conflict of Interest isn’t always a clear-cut situation. It’s more of a spectrum, where even a slight affiliation can be enough to warrant caution. In cases of doubt, it's better to disclose any potential COI. However, there are many instances where someone with a mild affiliation can still contribute meaningfully.		Conflict of Interest isn’t always a clear-cut situation. It’s more of a spectrum, where even a slight affiliation can be enough to warrant caution. In cases of doubt, it's better to disclose any potential COI. However, there are many instances where someone with a mild affiliation can still contribute meaningfully.

	One way to gauge your potential COI is by considering how easy it would be to end your involvement with the project. If you could easily walk away without much impact, you likely have a minor COI. But if your involvement is deeply tied to the project’s success or history, your COI is more significant.
