 * Thanks for your post at Talk:Kaiser_Family_Foundation in November 2010. Should you ever become active in Wikipedia then please contact me.  The Kaiser Family Foundation publishes a lot of material which would be very useful for verifying a lot of Wikipedia content and I think it would be mutually beneficial for us to talk a little about how to improve the standing of the foundation on this site.

Hi Bluerasberry. Thanks for getting in touch. I'd be interested in hearing what might be involved in becoming more active in Wikipedia to see if we have the resources to support it. If you'd like to contact me directly, you can find my email address on our website. --Robin Sidel, Kaiser Family Foundation 18:26, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Kaiser Family Foundation
I'm not sure if you're still with the Kaiser Family Foundation and/or still on Wikipedia at all but I just wanted to say that I saw your notes on Talk:Kaiser Family Foundation. I just wanted to make you aware of Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest and our Neutral point of view if you weren't already aware of them. To that end I added a notice on the talk page saying that you were a connected contributor to the subject.

On a personal note, I don't edit Wikipedia very much anymore but I am going look at your notes on the talk page and try to put some time into rehabbing the article so that it is readable in the future. I've already added an infobox to it to try to summarize some of the basic information from the article but there's a lot of work to be done. If you have any notes on the subject don't hesitate to keep giving suggestions on the talk page and/or send me a message on my talk page. I can't promise that I will get to it quickly but that article is in very bad shape so it needs work. Cat-five t  c   05:43, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Robin Sidel, Kaiser Family Foundation 21:50, 19 February 2014 (UTC) Cat-five: Thanks for your message and sorry for the late reply. I am still with the Kaiser Family Foundation. I am aware of the policies you pointed out and tried to be transparent in my talk comments by indicating that I am a representative of the Foundation. I am not a wikipedia expert but would like to improve the page, so I'm open to your suggestions as to how to do that. There are some minor changes needed to more accurately reflect the current work of the Foundation and I plan to note those soon.

Thank you, Robin

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:03, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
