Information on COI editing

[edit]

Information icon Hello, NCLR Comms. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article National Council of La Raza, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Safehaven86 (talk) 14:43, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.

Please refrain from editing National Council of La Raza per WP:COI guidelines

[edit]

Please refrain from editing National Council of La Raza. Since you've disclosed that you are a paid staffer there, it is a violation of Wikipedia's WP:COI policy for you to edit the article. As I explained previously, you may participate at the article's talk page and make edit requests, but you should not edit the article text yourself. Safehaven86 (talk) 22:23, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, although I thought I had made clear that I am suggesting edits, not making them?

[edit]

Thanks for reaching out. The only edit I've made to the text itself is to correct a dead link, and I've annotated the text to ask for the community to verify certain things. Everything else after 8/15 has been done as suggestions for edits on the talk page, as you advise above. Please let me know if this is still not the correct way to do this? Is there another way to get other folks without a COI to actually make the edits? Thanks for your time. Rem1321 (talk) 13:51, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you should put your suggested edits on the article's talk page and then make an edit request to encourage another editor to implement them. Safehaven86 (talk) 16:14, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
