Hello! MIverson124, you are invited to join other new editors and friendly hosts in the Teahouse. The Teahouse is an awesome place to meet people, ask questions and learn more about Wikipedia. Please join us!

Hello, MIverson124. 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.

Welcome!

King County Library System

I'm the public relations specialist for the King County Library System in western Washington State. One of our staffers pointed out that the Wiki page for the lirary system is outdated, and I've been assigned to the task.

I have edited and updated the copy, updated and/or changed the links to current information, and swapped the links on each community library to direct users to the libraries, rather than the communities.

I'm aware of the need for neutrality, and have done my best to be completely objective in the information provided, but I offer the information for review by a neutral third party.

The update--with new photograph of a new library--is in a Word file. I have not posted or edited anything on Wikipedia yet, and am reluctant to update/edit the article directly without some oversight.

How do I proceed?

Many thanks,

Marsha Iverson

To keep things completely neutral, it is not just neutral tone, please remember to source updated information properly, with support from third party sources, not just information published by your employer. With that sourcing, please attach the references for all updated information to where the information is placed in the article. This is usually done with the referencing tags (see WP:REFERENCES)

Hope you enjoy your stay on Wikipedia. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 04:30, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

I've attached you as an editor connected to the topic, per your declaration, per [1]; HTH -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 04:34, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Marsha, the best way to edit with a conflict of interest is to post your proposed changes on the article talk page here, and ask an editor to make the changes to the article.

• Option #2 - You can create - in your user space - the revised article and have an editor incorporate the changes to the article (to create a user page see WP:CREATEUSER#SUB). If the article - incorporating your proposed changes in your user space - is acceptable - an editor can copy it into article space overwriting the WP article.
• Option #3 - You can edit the article directly if you have an editor oversee your edits. This is documented on the talk page and in the edit history summary - usually using dummy edits by the editor who oversees the edits.

If you need assistance, you can post on my talk page. Cheers Gmcbjames (talk) 05:50, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
