Talk:Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services for Planning and Evaluation

Potential Conflict of Interest Declaration
Please review a potential conflict of interest:
 * Having just read this: http://www.hhs.gov/web/socialmedia/getting_started/wikipedia_guidance.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Editors_who_may_have_a_conflict_of_interest, I would like to make sure that I am not violating one of Wikipedia's policies on conflict of interest editing. Specifically, Wikipedia provides an example: "1) government employees should not edit articles[---]about their agencies, government, or political party, or articles about their political opponents, opposition groups, or about controversial political topics[---] with the intent to slant or spin an article in a manner that is politically advantageous to their employer".
 * I am a full time employee (civil servant) of the federal government in a time limited position (e.g., fellowship) at the Dept of Health and Human Services in the office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.
 * As a civil servant, I am obligated to be neutral. (We have political appointees, who are not obligated to be neutral; they support the elected Administration.) Civil servants state the facts.
 * As a subject matter expert in health, healthcare, and the Dept of Health and Human Services, I am able to contribute and edit content with significant expertise. I do not stand to benefit (which is one reason my user name itself does not attempt to be identifiable - I am not editing to establish myself as an expert) any more than any other citizen who consumes information on these subjects.
 * As a consumer of information, I rely on Wikipedia for getting a basic understanding of new 'things'. There are many article stubs that I wish were further developed.
 * As a user of Wikipedia, and a citizen of the United States, it seems that authoritative/publicly developed content should more often find its way onto Wikipedia. That is my one potential conflict of interest or bias.
 * I extensively researched how to expand access to publicly available information. The role that dbpedia (based on wikipedia) plays in the semantic web (and near to mid term future of search engine algorithms) is inescapable. Not participating in the information created as part of the Wikipedia project would put publicly generated information and data at a disadvantage.
 * Equally, the US Government does not pick "winners" (e.g., dbpedia or wikipedia). Because Wikipedia provides content in the public domain, this does not seem to be an issue. The content itself is ineligible for copyright.
 * The only word on the Article page that may carry clear bias is "instrumental". That is why it carries a citation on the word itself. It is pulled from the text of the budget justification sent to Congress.
 * The text provided primarily by the Federal Register and Congressional Budget justification were specifically screened for neutrality (removing any potential for aggrandizement). The history was added (and edited down also to avoid self-promotion) because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.

Suggestions on how to proceed are much appreciated. Please know that my intentions were well placed, and it is my intent to comply with the governance of the community.

-- Regarding "This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. The specific problem is: Article title is about a person (position), yet article seems to be about an office/division": The Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation is in fact both a person (position) and an office/division. The person is often referred to as "*The* ASPE", while the office is referred to as "ASPE". There are several other examples within HHS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_Human_Services#Internal_Structure Kukt (talk) 04:47, 9 January 2014 (UTC)Kukt
 * Isn't the position ASPE, and the division Office of the ASPE?''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   05:24, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Fairtake for a random solution on healthcare agencies, to a zoom by members' shaft on a share of a transparency unit to a holdback view of sovereignity, shielded on a spare trust... if may maintain dos carpium to an eurohold of a regional timer. Wisely done on the inside of local sides to a browser smith, any buck to withhold but a gold value to a script in: exchange for cover back of a solution to cost of cures. Walkback to a lost property, due in links of law and permissions to a side due lack of household accommodation. Vulnerability. Care system quite oblique, insufficiencies of plenty - just to the suite of the elementary rights in court and society. Prescribed for a tune in, gaining value on a quote of a judgement to sue and be sued. Subdevision of policy makers to a line about domestication and roots in, on a Congress hold of a union to same land. But for ownership? As a forked in stew, to the private keepers. A stern in notion for a disclaimer full of hints to a value of land, as called by white spots. Due in emission of buck. No run by regional corps to an entity of it. Close by, sovereign make - no due terms of a red on banking. Slam up destination, easy for landscape diversity. A claimant rescue fund. 212.5.158.133 (talk) 19:01, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
