Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Litvil3. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

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. &mdash;George8211 / T 20:33, 3 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi George8211. My apologies for editing directly in the article about DRCOG as I am a DRCOG employee. I have now read the our frequently asked questions for organizations and definitely realized I stepped right into a policy violation on my first at bat. I'm sorry. The water edits were simply a factual correction of when the program ended. Very happy to discuss this further or answer any questions you may have. My name is Nate Currey and I'm the Communications Coordinator here at DRCOG. my email is ncurrey@drcog.org. Thanks again for the guidance. I'm a rookie at Wikipedia, I will read through the guidelines more carefully from here on out.Litvil3 (talk) 21:02, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Not to worry! I suggest you go to the teahouse and say you're happy to work to achieve the best neutral but up-to-date result. Unfortunately I have to move away from Wikipedia for tonight, but the Teahouse is very friendly. &mdash;George8211 / T 21:11, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
