| ::Here's an actual question from my RfA: "In your last RFA, one of the few questions you did not answer was how you would navigate another undisclosed conflict-of-interest. So I'll repeat the spirit of that question: can you elaborate on how you would navigate your existing conflicts-of-interest?" The questioner was fishing for information about another editor.

| :::A "fishing question". For disclosed interests, candidates should use their user page. For undisclosed, they whould keep away from the topic or edit so carefully that no bias is detectable. And many interests / opinions do not matter. So for example it does not matter whether we have met or not. And some "interests" can be determined from editing patterns and do not need to be disclosed. eg I like to rescue garbage, eg abandonded user drafts, or pages about to be deleted by G13. Or for some particular editors I will try to assist them. But say I was married to another Wikipedia editor. Should I disclose it or avoid voting on anything related to that connected editor? Such disclosure is not required for RFA. But if there were problems showing up in relation to a possibly related editor, then votors may be justified in voting "no".

| ::::You ''cannot'' disclose that, because it would be disclosing personal information about another editor. Part of my contract with my former employer was non-disclosure of any detail whatsoever about my work. When someone accused me of writing about my employer, I could only respond that the firm in question was ''not'' my employer, but I could not disclose who my actual employer was.
