On behalf of the nonprofit conservation organization African Parks via the Wyss Foundation, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I am working to create and improve several related Wikipedia articles. I have created this page to outline the goals and scope of the project, disclose my conflict of interest, and maintain a progress report. I invite editors to follow along, ask questions, and discuss proposed article improvements, on this page and/or on individual article talk pages.

Given my conflict of interest, I will not edit articles directly in the main space and ask independent editors to review drafts and edit requests for accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability. During this project, African Parks has provided feedback to ensure accuracy, and I have worked hard to draft neutral, appropriately-sourced content that complies with Wikipedia's guidelines and manual of style. I am happy to address any questions or concerns that may arise throughout this project here, or on my user talk page. Thanks in advance for your consideration and help. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 18:45, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Disclosure

The Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require that all editors disclose their "employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which they receive, or expect to receive, compensation". I am familiar with the paid-contribution disclosure and enjoy working with fellow Wikipedians to make improvements to articles, openly and transparently. The following template will appear on all talk pages associated with this project:
