Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Chrissie at NIAD. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page NIAD Art Center, 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, clients, 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. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 02:22, 8 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi there!
 * Thanks for the info. I definitely have a "conflict of interest" as you define it, in that it is my job to make sure information publicly available about NIAD Art Center is accurate, relevant, up-to-date and anti-ableist. Moving forward it seems like I need to request changes instead of making them myself. For instance, I'd love to update the funding source paragraph to "As of the fiscal year ending in June 2020, NIAD had annual revenues around $1.3 million, raised through donations, program service fees, and art sales."

 * Thanks again,
 * Chrissie 2603:3024:100A:BE00:B055:4F23:8247:B790 (talk) 19:50, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
