Template:Did you know nominations/FBI v. Apple
Hello, BlueStove,

I have reviewed the above. As you noted in your nomination, the hook needs work. Also, one citation is needed in text. With those minor corrections, your nomination should pass DYK. I hope you will make the corrections quickly, so that events do not overtake the article.

Thank you for nominating an article of great civic importance.

Hello, BlueStove,

Character count is taken in edit view. The hook still needs a trim.

Hello, BlueStove,

There are two acceptable ALT1 hooks discussed in the nomination. The one that is posted is GTG. Posting the other will mean that that hook will have to be reviewed by another editor before it is GTG.Georgejdorner (talk) 19:46, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Conflicts of interest in Wikipedia, former accounts
Hi BlueStove. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia. Per your contribs, your edits are gravitating to Deepak Chopra matters, and your recent launch of an RfC and publicizing of it (here then here then here) reflects a depth of understanding of Wikipedia that is rare for such new users. (the publicizing was very well done, btw!)

The Chopra article has been under pressure for a long time by people who work for Chopra, and by editors who have unfortunately sockpuppetted, which is against Wikipedia's policies. So I am providing you notice of our conflict of interest guideline, and will have some comments and questions for you below.

Hello, BlueStove. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
 * instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.

Comments and requests
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest 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).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Deepak Chopra or any of the institutions with which he or his foundation are affiliated? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it.

Also, would you please let me know if you have edited under other accounts in Wikipedia in the past?
