Talk:Youth intervention

COI

I understand that I may have a conflict of interest in creating this page since I work for Youth Intervention Programs Association. However, no page exists for Youth Intervention (or anything that even comes close). Please help me in understanding how I can remove the conflict of interest.. Is it as simple as changing my user name? That seems dishonest.

To remove the conflict... don't create the article (too late), or resign (a bit extreme just for a wikipedia article).

To manage the conflict... read the advice in the message on your talk page, follow the links, edit some unrelated articles - it's easier to learn what the requirements are when you don't have a vested interest in every edit you make. Did your organisation need its own article, or could it have been woven into Youth service? The external link to your organisation in the text has a hint of promotional activity to it.

"Is it as simple as changing my user name? That seems dishonest."... a bit of a grey area. If you write as if you're acting officially on behalf of YIPA - big problem. Will your choice of username inhibit your editing of the article about your sponsors Wells Fargo - problem. How about Youth incarceration in the United States, or Youth Service Bureau? WP:USERNAME sets out the policy.

Your username doesn't breach the policy, but you're walking a tricky path. The article isn't blatantly promotional, but... you get the idea I'm sure.

Thank you Bazj! You have been very helpful. I removed the link to YIPA.org in hopes that this removes conflict of promotional activity. The article is not about the organization, but on the work of "Youth Intervention" - which is a type of youth work, primarily focusing on at-risk youth. There is a very diverse and wide spectrum of services offered under the umbrella of "Youth Intervention" so no, I don't think it would fit to weave Youth Intervention into Youth Service.
