Conflict of interest

Hello, BluStormz. 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 on Wikipedia, 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 Wikipedia: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. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:48, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Donating copyrighted materials

Hello, BluStormz.

Thank you for your note at my talk page.

Because we have no means of verifying identity on account creation, Wikipedia must rely on external permissions processes to accept donated previously published content.

If you wish to donate content from your websites to help create an article on the American Association of Adapted Sports Programs, please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The best path for this is generally to change the license on your website so that it is compatible. Alternatively, you can write to the address set out there with a license statement.

I do have to note that these licenses permit liberal reuse and modification. Articles on Wikipedia do not belong to the organizations they describe and are not controlled by them, but are open to editing by anyone so long as those edits conform to our site's policies and guidelines. I feel like it's particularly important to point this out since we received an emailed complaint from your organization with respect to the last article about an editor "who is NOT authorized to write on our organization’s behalf" - I want to be sure you understand that, while we do strive to ensure that content is fair and accurately sourced - no one needs authorization to write on an organization's behalf on Wikipedia. If a new article is posted and you feel it contains inaccuracies, you will need to follow the process described at Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations.

If you choose to license your website so that the article can be restored, please feel free to reach out again. Whether you do it on your site itself or via email, I am happy to help facilitate that. But do, please, keep in mind that material may be modified or flagged for modification to conform to our site's policies. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:46, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. In case you did not do so before, I would also recommend you read over the last response I gave you, now archived, at User_talk:Moonriddengirl/Archive_58#American_Association_of_Adapted_Sports_Programs. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:49, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
