The Conflict of Interest policy isn't for people who write about their own cities, local history, and so on. It's for city officials, business owners, and so on who are promoting their own institutions (or promoting someone else's for pay). If she works for the Richmond Tourist Board or something like that, there's a problem. If she's just a motivated resident, there isn't. That said, it's important that she edit from a Neutral Point of View <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view> and avoid promoting <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox_or_means_of_promotion> Richmond. It's important to avoid puffery and peacock terms <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Puffery>. So she shouldn't write "Richmond's Athenaeum is a magnificent 18th century library with the most beautiful manuscript collection south of New York City." but rather something like "The Richmond Athenaeum is housed in a building designed by William Mayhew and completed in 1767.[[footnote]] The Virginia Association of Architects named it as one of only 3 'Extraordinary Monuments' in Virginia.[[footnote]] Its manuscript collection includes multiple copies of the *Vienna Psalter.*[[footnote]]*" *Too much detail can also be a sign of over-enthusiasm going beyond a neutral point of view. She can contact me on my WP user talk page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Macrakis> if she likes. -s On Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 1:50 PM Teresa Cordova &lt;teresa.cordova72(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
