Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:23, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, HBass881. 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 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 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 WP: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. Gyrofrog (talk) 23:47, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

I Will do, my family is the Bass Family of Fort Worth, my father is Lee M Bass. I will refrain from editing any Bass related articles, aside from request to edit.

However I don't believe this will be dispositive in regards to the Fort Worth articles, since the city exist independently of my family? HBass881 (talk) 17:00, 9 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Related to the above, do you have some sort of connection to the Sid W. Richardson Foundation(the article mentions members of a Bass family)? 331dot (talk) 10:41, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

No its run by my uncles but I have nothing to do with the management and the neutral information is readily available via Sidrich.org I noticed that the article had not been updated in 887 days. If this is problematic I will refrain but I think providing up to date and accurate information is important on a page that has already been published and vetted. Thanks for your help HBass881 (talk) 10:48, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Above you state that "I will refrain from editing any Bass related articles, aside from request to edit". I don't think that you need to go back and remove what you've added, but making edit requests henceforth is probably a good idea just to be on the safe side of openness and transparency. Conflict of interest is not just about an actual one, but the appearance of one as well. Note that required annual reports and the Foundation website are primary sources and not necessarily "neutral". Wikipedia should primarily summarize what independent reliable sources state. 331dot (talk) 11:02, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Understand, and will distance myself from direct and indirect Bass Family organizations, and ask for updates. Although in reference to the primary source the grantees, and several news outlets have reported on the size of the endowment and prolific grants and can provide if needed but also would like to respect the COI. Again thank you for your input HBass881 (talk) 11:07, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
