Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, SaintRaphaelWebmaster. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Raleigh, North Carolina, 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. John from Idegon (talk) 18:07, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Raleigh, North Carolina Edit Should be Added Back to the Page

I added a list of Catholic Churches to the 3.1 Religion section. It was removed by User:John from Idegon with the message that it was a COI. Although I am the webmaster for a single church (Saint Raphael), it is just included in the list that came from the Diocese of Raleigh . I have noted lists of churches on other City pages.

How can this get resolved? I am new to Wikipedia alerts and changes to my edits.

Thanks.SaintRaphaelWebmaster (talk) 19:18, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
