Archivist but conflict of interest?

I tried to add publishing dates for stories and books that were inaccurate or unlisted. I also tried to add the song "Oh! Beauty" to the songs section of the article. I am an archivist at a Saroyan family archive, so I have this verified information readily available. However, apparently that is a conflict of interest because my employer pays me to know about Saroyan. So I can't improve the page? The archives I represent is not for profit and open to the public. It gets no financial benefit from clicks. Granted, I tried to add the institution's website as an external link, but it truly does exist for the purposes of detailing Saroyan's literary legacy for research purposes. What is the ethical outcome here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ForeverSaroyan (talk • contribs) 01:16, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
