CUNA
Are Credit Union National Association and CUNA mutual group the same thing? Because it appears you rewrote/copied the entire article in that direction? Did you just copy the new article from User:Cunamutual, who appears to have a conflict of interest? KnightLago (talk) 19:16, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I reverted your changes. You should instead try and create the article at CUNA Mutual Group. If you do so, please make sure it meets Wikipedia's standards which can be found in your welcome message above. Please let me know if you have any questions. KnightLago (talk) 21:37, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

July 2008
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 or creating 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,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. KnightLago (talk) 21:38, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
