Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]Hello, K.M. Thorpe. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Nita Lowey, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. General Ization Talk 21:12, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
- Please note that your status as a paid editor who has contributed to the article on Rep. Lowey has been disclosed at that article's Talk page. As a staff member for Rep. Lowey, we strongly encourage you not to edit the article further, but to request that any changes be made by other editors by posting a message at that Talk page.

[edit] Hello, I'm Waddie96. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Nita Lowey, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. {{u|waddie96}} {talk}

- @K.M. Thorpe:: In this edit you removed some info from Nita Lowey without giving a reliable source as to why; stating in your edit summary that you are a staffer is not a reliable source. In addition, as warned above, please use {{request edit}} on a talk page to request an edit. I highly recommend you stop editing articles that you have a COI with.

{{paid|employer=the [[US House of Representatives]]|client=[[Nita Lowey]]}}
