Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page United States Association of Former Members of Congress has been reverted. Your edit here to United States Association of Former Members of Congress was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/usafmc) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 16:25, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, FMCIntern. 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 United States Association of Former Members of Congress, you may have a conflict of interest.

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.

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. -- Rrburke (talk) 18:24, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to United States Association of Former Members of Congress, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 20:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

The deletion template at your userpage
I removed it as there is nothing at that page to delete. If you intended that as a request to delete your account, please say and I can respond to that. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:14, 11 July 2014 (UTC)


 * It was a request to delete this account. FMCIntern (talk) 02:24, 11 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I thought it might have been. Actually, we cannot delete accounts. You can blank or archive this user talk page and abandon the account, though. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:51, 11 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I would like to do that, please. Archive and abandon. FMCIntern (talk) 03:09, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
