Conflict of Interest / Paid Editing[edit]

Hello, DavidRafter. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Oakland Park, Florida, 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.

You have stated in an edit summary "I am the City's Public Information Office and I added a link to the City's new promotional video. Thank you." Please see the policies and guidelines referenced in the above notice regarding Conflict of Interest and Paid Editing on Wikipedia. If you choose to continue contributing to WP and want to propose changes to articles which you have a conflict of interest on I would be willing to work with you. Basic facts should be no issue if you have references. Rewriting copy as long as it is not promotional and is factual (and referenced) can be discussed on Talk:Oakland Park, Florida, the talk page of the article.
