Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, 172.87.137.3. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page The Center for American and International Law, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:41, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Beeblebrox,

As per our previous conversations, I would like to do the following:

- Change my username per your guidelines to whatever you would find acceptable. - Be transparent about my role within CAIL to avoid any COI concerns - Be transparent about my intention to update factual information without promoting, advertising, spamming, etc.

As I've explained, I understand how easy it could be to manipulate information on wiki, but in my sincere ignorance, I thought that in updating factual information that was out-of-date would be more helpful than not in keeping Wikipedia accurate. I am aware through your actions in blocking our account that this is not the case. Blame it on a sincere naivete, but how about we return the page to what it was before I edited with new names. I'll gladly offer you the updated names so you can see that I'm not changing any other messaging but the factual names that are no longer current. Is this possible?
