The acronym COI stands for Conflict of Interest.
As an IntactiWiki author, you are member of a selected group of contributors because the IntactiWiki is no open Wiki (like e.g. Wikipedia). The main reason why the IntactiWiki is a protected Wiki is that we want to protect content from being corrupted or removed by persons who are not willing to discuss the topics in a calm, serious way.
But this also leads to a special situation (compared with the Wikipedia): All authors of the IntactiWiki are intactivists. Being an IntactiWiki author, you will have to avoid any COI best possible. That means that even when your position is basically pro genital integrity, etc., you will have to write all articles in a neutral, serious, reader-friendly way.
If you are e.g. a manufacturer of foreskin restoration products and write about your own products (which is not forbidden here), you will have to describe them in a non-commercial way, without advertising them, just describing what they are used for and how they work.
In any case the moderators or admins see a COI in what you are publishing here, we will ask you to explain and solve this COI.
