Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, AmericanPublicGasAssociation. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article American Public Gas Association, 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.
 * 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.

 * Hi Fiddleystx - I appreciate your dedication to Wikipedia and providing me with detailed information about conflict of interest. Our members have pointed out how out of date this article is with having 2010 membership information, award, committees and history. We updated it to make sure it reflects our 2014 membership numbers, the number of states our members are in, removing defunct committees and posting the new ones, editing the history so it is clearer and removing old membership information, removing a 2010 award winner and placing with the 2014 awards. I hope this clarification shows are not trying to skew our positions, but to merely correct out of date information.
