Hello, Realwomenresearch. 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 need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

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.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * 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.

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. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 21:49, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. ''Please re-read the message I left you last year about paid editing/conflict of interest. You are not allowed to use Wikipedia to promote an organization, and if someone is paying you to do so, they need to know that that's not permitted.'' –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 20:49, 30 September 2013 (UTC)


 * On a related note, it looks like some of your changes may be of relevance to the article and an improvement to it, but for anything controversial, or where you may have a conflict of interest (as implied by your user name), I would suggest taking your proposed changes to the talk page and indicate your reasons for suggesting the change, along with any supporting evidence you may have. Usually, supporting evidence must come from reliable secondary sources, like newspapers and journals. In some cases, however, a primary source, like REAL's website, may be adequate, but only for non-controversial information about the organization itself (e.g., current leadership, important dates in the organization's history, etc.). – RobinHood70 talk 01:28, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
