I'm a contributor that just edits pages whenever I feel as it is missing something or if I feel the page itself is missing from Wikipedia.

Policies and procedures are important to me, so if I mistakenly break one of the many Wikipedia Policies, then please inform me and revert the page if needed.

Conflicts of Interest

Further information: Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest

I have the upmost respect for Wikipedia's principle of maintaining a neutral point of view. This requires that editors with conflicts of interest (COIs) avoid editing in a manner that is disruptive. However, improving the encyclopedia requires contributors who are passionate about the subject to work to improve the subject articles. If editors with conflicts of interest, often among the most passionate, are excluded from articles without cause (i.e. disruptive editing is absent), then the quality of the encyclopedia will suffer.

When I edit an article whose subject I have a conflict of interest with, I attempt to stick to non-substantial changes (adding images, improving formatting). When making substantial edits, I always stick to sources, never my personal experience or knowledge. I encourage editors to call me out if I deviate from this principle or if any other bias emerges. I maintain that, despite these conflicts of interest, I act in good faith; I also recognize that an editor's good faith is often irrelevant in COI discussions.

To maintain the integrity of Wikipedia, and to ensure I am editing ethically, I will disclose all of my conflicts of interest to the best of my ability.


I have never been paid or otherwise instructed to edit any page on Wikipedia.
