Connection to the Living New Deal?

Hello, I'm BlackcurrantTea. I came across the Living New Deal today, and when I looked at the article's history, noticed your edit summary: 'Updated some of our project information, updated dead links, and made some minor grammatical changes'. Your use of the word 'our' leads me to believe that you may have a connection to the Living New Deal. Wikipedia has a conflict of interest guideline which requires caution when editing articles about subjects to which you have a connection. I'll add a template after this which describes it and has links to further details.

When reading the article, I noticed a large number of external links used in a way that doesn't fit with Wikipedia's Manual of style. I removed most of them, and altered the placement of others. You've not done anything wrong. This is simply one of the guidelines followed in Wikipedia so that articles have a consistent style. If you have questions or need help, please feel free to ask me, enquire at the Help Desk, or visit the Teahouse, our help forum for new editors.

Here's the information on Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline:

Hello, Wpatoday. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page the Living New Deal, 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.
