Conflict of interest and advocacy in Wikipedia
Hi. Archie2247 I work on conflict of interest and advocacy issues in WIkipedia, along with my regular editing. All your edits have been in deletion discussion for Raising for Effective Giving or on the article itself.

This makes it pretty clear that you have some connection with that organization. Would you please disclose it?

The reason that I am asking, is that Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest and advocacy in Wikipedia is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do). You can have a look at our COI guideline, which is WP:COI if you would like.

I look forward to hearing from you! Best regards Jytdog (talk) 13:17, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
