Thank you for visiting.
I started editing Wikipedia articles in May 2007.

I'm interested in contributing to articles about think tanks, reform movements, and politically oriented non-profits.

Articles on those subjects are bound to be contentious so I think it's especially important to adhere to the NPOV policy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackjump (talk • contribs) 17:32, 28 May 2007

Your recent edits
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please always observe our core policies. -- Ronz 21:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ronz, I don't see that my edits at SourceWatch violate NPOV. Can you explain further? Jackjump 16:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked indefinitely without further warning.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. -- Ronz 21:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Ronz, I'm happy to be able to say that I don't have a conflict of interest. Jackjump 16:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
