Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, ASI2020 Vision. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- dsprc   [talk]  20:27, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. -- dsprc   [talk]  20:31, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

RE: Teahouse
Namaste. Please know that I've absolutely zero objections to your adding content to these articles. The objection I do have is primarily that you've exploded both of the articles with excessive "see also" type stuff and that your additions do not adhere to the style and layout guidelines. The "Additional Research" section you added does not belong in the article for Ayres. The lede is supposed to be a summary of the content in the article, not the entire article; this applies to both SIT and Ayres - please include this content in relevant sections in the body. We also do not include references in the bodies of articles (eg: your "(Ayres, 1963, 1968)" etc additions to the lede of Ayres); we have reference sections and footnotes for that. The reason I tagged the articles as COI was because your user name and addition of external links to your own site (Ayres Sensory Integration 2020 vision). You may want to see: Manual of Style/Layout or Manual of Style/Contents. Again, you are more than welcome to edit these articles (we definitely need experts here) but, please do so in a manner that is consistent with other articles we have. Additionally, if you need anything at all, you are encouraged to reach out on my talk page and I'll do my best to assist, or you may ask for help at Teahouse. Thank you.


 * P.S. did you know that you can use your personal sandbox to experiment with layout, syntax, formatting or work on drafts? -- dsprc   [talk]  04:01, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your recommendations and formatting links. I am dedicated to offering a balanced and unbiased view of sensory integration theory and practice that includes current, valid information published by reliable sources Identifying Reliable Sources. I feel that as a new editor I have much to learn in regards to the technical aspects of posting and editting pages. I hope to continue to improve my technical skills with the help of teahouse and other online wiki help tools. My focus on the portrayal of accurate and current information has been of greatest importance to me whereas formatting and technical aspects have been secondary. All of the sources I cited in my edits were published text books or peer reviewed journal articles. Additionally my user name is not a promotion of any specific organization or cause but instead was made with the idea to more thoroughly and accurately represent a theory and framework for professional practice that is used currently by a growing professional community.

It is with Good Faith that I ask other users to help me with this endeavor and improve the quality of the pages in question, Anna Jean Ayres and sensory integration therapy. I have felt somewhat criticized and hope that this ongoing dispute is resolved without affecting the validity of the pages in question. I have reviewed the Principles of wikipedia etiquette etiquette and have attempted to emulate and follow these standards, including open conversations regarding edits instead of engaging in a wiki war. Thanks! I look forward to continued discussions ASI2020 Vision  [talk]  04:01, 2 september 2014
