Hello, KETGarrett. 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. ElKevbo (talk) 00:03, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Connection to American Society for Public Administration‎?
What is your connection to the American Society for Public Administration‎? In a previous edit, you used the possessive pronoun "our" that implies a direct connection to the organization. ElKevbo (talk) 18:08, 27 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Correct: I have a direct connection to the organization, and I'm aware of your COI policies, hence me asking the question. If those edits are truly not permitted, please let me know and I will refrain from doing so in the future. Can you also tell me what the standard timeframe is for Wikipedia responses, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KETGarrett (talk • contribs) 14:15, July 27, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. I think that your most recent edit is ok; I can't imagine that anyone would find it objectionable or controversial to simply update something as straight-forward and factual as the organization's president.
 * I think it's reasonable to wait a few days especially for articles that are not heavily trafficked by other editors. If you still don't get a response, feel free to ask elsewhere e.g., WP:UNI, WP:VPM. ElKevbo (talk) 22:29, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
