I originally joined the Wikipedia community to make some contributions to a biography of Albert Huffstickler, the well-known poet from Austin, Texas. As an employee at the Smithsonian Institution, I now find myself embarking on a Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) project with fellow SI employees, with generous help from experienced Wikipedians. In accordance with Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest policy, I need to give full disclosure of my relationship to the Smithsonian:

I, User:Taoboy49, am an employee of the Smithsonian Institution, a cultural institution per WP:GLAM. I accept the editing conditions specified at that page. I will not make any edits that would not be beneficial to the goals of Wikipedia.I will uphold the community policies laid down by WP:GLAM. My main edits for the Smithsonian Institution will consist of the following activities:


 * Contributing to articles regarding the collections and archives of the Smithsonian, especially those of the National Museum of the American Indian, the SI unit I work for.
 * Making edits and corrections to existing WP articles that relate to Smithsonian collections and archives.

I will modify my editing behavior based on problems cited by other editors or if my editing conflicts with other Wikipedia guidelines. I ask that other editors do not hesitate to contact me, via my user talk page, if I appear to be going against this declaration. --Taoboy49 (talk) 14:25, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
