Help me!
When included NYC subway information in an infobox, how can I have a graphic of the line's symbol show up instead of just hyperlinked text? Thanks!

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Scelentano81. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The City Reliquary, 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. —C.Fred (talk) 14:18, 2 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Why have you gotten this message? You referred to the City Reliquary as "my museum". —C.Fred (talk) 15:05, 2 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I see. But I don't refer to it this way on the museum Wikipedia page.
 * Scelentano81 (talk) 15:13, 2 August 2015 (UTC)


 * It is possible to write neutrally even when you have a conflict of interest. However, the message is to make sure you are aware of the guidelines. —C.Fred (talk) 15:24, 2 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Will the box containing "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject" always be on the page? Or will it be removed after a review process?

Mentor
Hi Scelentano. The Mentorship WikiProject assigned me as a potential mentor upon your request. I noticed that you have primarily edited The City Reliquary, where raised some conflict of interest issues. I have a lot of experience helping organizations manage their Conflict of Interest on Wikipedia and therefore might be particularly useful in that regard.

If you like I can help guide you through further improvements to the article, such as putting references in proper citation templates, removing the unsourced promotion of the org's events, and getting a logo image in the infobox, rather than a map. CorporateM (Talk) 16:24, 3 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, I'd like to discuss how to navigate the Conflict of Interest issue. The page presents nothing but factual information. In terms of the museum's events, I think that these are important to note because they underscore that the Reliquary is not just a museum, but also a civic organization that engages the local community. I don't promote the events, but merely describe what they are. Re: logo image for infobox, we intend to use an image as well as the map. I will discuss possible image choices with the museum founder later this week. We are being careful about which image we use because of the requirement that it be open access or fair use. Thanks again for reaching out. I look forward to discussing these issues with you.
