Conflict of interest editing

Hello, Ew0303. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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 COI 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 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. Melcous (talk) 21:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello Melcous,

Thanks for your note. To be clear, I was a fellow of the Watson Foundation but are no longer a fellow. Does this mean that all previous fellows since the 1970s who have not kept in contact with the Foundation and have long since, for decades, received a stipend, cannot edit the articles? I am not secretive about my previous Fellowship and there is no conflict of interest or opacity intended. I would love to learn more from you, so if you could recommend some best practices so that I can continue making factually accurate corrections to the pages, and other pages, while adding additional citations to sources, it would be greatly appreciated. Like yourself I strongly value independent and neutral writing as it is imperative to people's ability to create their own understanding of the world at large. Again, to reiterate, please do send some guidance on best practices and I would be happy to do so in other edits and page creations I make in the future.

I have also noticed that there are two tags on each of the pages (Thomas J. Watson Fellowship and Jeannette K. Watson Fellowship), one on the advertising nature and another on merging into the Watson Foundation page. I know you have specifically mentioned them to me. For merging into the Watson Foundation page that does not seem like it has been a problem for other fellowships with a foundation overhead. For instance, the MacArthur Fellowship is operated by a Foundation and yet the fellowship has its own page separate from the Foundation page - is there a reason why these two fellowships cannot be separate from the Foundation page? Numerous people link to each of the Jeannette K. Watson and Thomas J. Watson pages - would they lose that ability to do so if these pages get merged?

As for the advertising tone of the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship and Jeannette K. Watson, what are good third-party sources to tap into if there is limited news coverage? From what I can tell the Foundation does not want to self-advertise and so there is not news coverage available. The sources provided by others link other sources. If this is not sufficient, what is your recommendation to meet the independent and neutral third party standard?
