To JamesBWatson

Thanks for your help so far James, I'm sorry to have caused a bit of a mess here. I'm getting the impression that it would be a conflict of interest to write or edit an article about anybody affiliated with the charity I'm currently volunteering with. Is that right? Hotdesking (talk) 15:26, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

It could be. However, there is no absolute ban on doing so. You should read the Wikipedia conflict of interest guideline, but basically the message is "be very careful when there could be a conflict of interest", rather than "don't edit at all". JamesBWatson (talk) 13:14, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
