Re: Lamar High
Hi! Thanks for the rewriting at Lamar High School (Houston)! I've added back a few details that I thought were important. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:30, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Ponkatat. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Joel Osteen ‎, 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. Grayfell (talk) 05:42, 31 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Grayfell! I do not have a conflict of interest, I am just a researcher with a somewhat narrow content subject about post-modernist Christianity. I do not attempt to soapbox or scrub, although after your recent deletions I have revisted the rules regarding those terms. Thank you for helping me better my biographical skills!
