==My work==

I often contribute to Misplaced Pages in a public relations capacity, primarily through Talk pages. If a COI is not disclosed, I do not have one. I've supported the creation of Request Edit templates, WikiProject Cooperation and several custom templates and essays related to COI.

We can improve the behavior of organizations and individuals on Misplaced Pages by making it in their best interest to act in the manner we prefer. Ethics will be a more attractive option for article subjects when we provide clear instructions, reasonable processes and an effective approach. Creating greater risks, better methods of detection and stronger deletion can discourage spam, advertising and censorship by reducing the ROI of those strategies. It is not scalable nor consistent to expect companies to be ethical, rather than expecting them to pursue their own best-interest and modifying their behavior on that basis.

A few other things:
| icon_nr = 20
* Because PRs are agnostic to Misplaced Pages's success or failure, there is no AGF/ABF, only different approaches, corporate bureaucracies and levels of competence to "doing their job."
| extra_offset = 20
* Saying "COI editing is discouraged" isn't helpful, since it would be irresponsible for PRs not to serve their employer's interests in a lawful and ethical way.
| action = contributed substantially with a conflict of interest to}}{{GA user topicon
* If a PR person served Misplaced Pages's interests and their client's simultaneously, this would be a conflict of interest and would be unethical. We serve our client's interests exclusively. When the BrightLine is followed, the best way for us to serve our clients is by providing value to Misplaced Pages and its readers.

==Privacy==
| icon_nr = 21
Many editors in the Misplaced Pages community may have met me in-person, by phone, or otherwise know who I am. There are few areas I will edit that don't offer some remote opportunity for real-world consequences. I ask that you respect my privacy, so that I may edit in controversial areas without fear of real-world consequences. Thank you.

This editor is a
Senior Editor III
and is entitled to display this Rhodium
Editor Star.

My name is David King. I run a Misplaced Pages consulting business called Ethical Wiki. In this role, I have authored more than 30% of Misplaced Pages's Good Article-ranked company pages, and brought many others up to the GA standard.

I also used to be an active volunteer with almost 40,000 edits. However, you can safely assume any recent edits are in my Ethical Wiki role and are made on behalf of the article-subject, unless I mention otherwise. Finally, I am also a licensed attorney and work for myself at King @ Law. One of these days, I hope to use unfair competition laws to force black-hat Misplaced Pages services to comply with the transparency requirements in Misplaced Pages's Terms of Use.
