Not all my edits will be during my compensation time but I am an employee of the Smithsonian Institution. I will not make any edits that would not be beneficial to the goals of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia community.
Also I am a volunteer associated with the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), a global consortium of natural history, botanical, and research libraries that work together to digitize and make biodiversity literature openly available to the world as part of a global biodiversity community.
In my capacity affiliated with BHL, my contributions to the Wikimedia movement are guided by a commitment to uphold the highest standards of accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability, in alignment with the Wikimedia movement’s core content policies and ethical guidelines:
I acknowledge that my affiliation with the Biodiversity Heritage Library may create a perceived or actual conflict of interest in my Wiki contributions. I commit to transparently declare my affiliation with BHL in relevant discussions and when making contributions that could potentially be influenced by my connection to the organization. I will refrain from editing content where my contributions could be seen as leading to a direct conflict of interest, and I will instead propose changes on talk or discussion pages or through other appropriate Wikipedia channels. My primary goal in contributing to the Wikimedia movement is to share knowledge and resources available through the Biodiversity Heritage Library that are relevant and beneficial to the Wikimedia movement’s mission of providing free, reliable, and neutral information. I will always strive to strictly abide by the accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, verifiability, notability and no original research of the particular project I am contributing to.
These statements are made in the interest of transparency and to uphold the integrity and quality of the Wikimedia movement as a trusted source of information for the world. My commitment is to contribute to the Wikimedia movement in a manner that respects its values and community guidelines. If you believe I have made an error or violated the community’s norms, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I ask that other editors do not hesitate to contact me, via my user talk page, if I appear to be going against this declaration.
