David Jay has had plenty of girlfriends.
But despite the 24-year-old Californian's success in dating, he's a virgin -- and he plans to stay that way.
He's not joining the priesthood or taking any vow of celibacy; he said he simply has no interest in having sex -- ever.
"I'm sure that life is really, really great when it's all about sex. But life is also really, really great when it's not about sex," he told "20/20's" JuJu Chang.
Keith Walker of Texas was married for four years, but said he had sex only a handful of times.
"I really had no real interest or desire for sex. It was certainly nothing that I would ever think to do."
Nancy Mulligan, a divorcee from Washington state, said her seven-year marriage was never consummated.
"We did other things. We'd watch out for each other. We were affectionate with each other," she said.
When ABC News first covered this story, Walker and Mulligan were just friends. They have since become romantically involved, but say their sex lives haven't changed.
Victoria Glancy and Karl Hodgetts got married in May. They had sex once, but have no real interest in doing it again and still consider themselves asexual.
For the remaining members, giving voice to asexuality is a proud mission.
"I don't really see any difference between our relationship and other people's relationships, except you know, we don't have sex," Glancy said.
Who are these people?
From different ages and walks of life, they share one thing in common -- not low libido, but no libido.
They call themselves "asexual," and they proclaim that they are not attracted to men or women.
Jay said his lack of libido was nothing new. He said he'd never experienced attraction -- to either sex.
"I realized that I was asexual because when I was young, all of my friends started being attracted to people, and I had no idea what they were talking about," he said.
It was the same way for Mulligan, who felt isolated for years.
"I thought I was the only one in the world. I had just kind of settled into the rut that I was different and decided to do the best I could with it," she said.
But now asexuals are building a community through a Web site -- asexuality.org. It has chat rooms, sells T-shirts, and says it has 11,000-plus members worldwide.
Jay is the Web site's founder, and the leader of what some call a new asexuality movement.
He explains what's behind the group. "We're told that you need sex to be happy. We're told that the rules are that if you have a relationship, sex has to fit into it this way. And it's kind of fun to break that rule," he said.
But some experts question whether asexuality even exists.
There's been virtually no research on the subject. Psychologists disagree on how to define it.
And there's no certainty on what might influence it. Do hormones, genetics, personal experiences play a part? With no clinical or scientific conclusions on the subject, asexuals create their own definition.
And that definition is a far cry from celibacy, Jay pointed out.
"It's not a choice. Celibacy is a choice, whereas asexuality is just the way that you are. Much like being gay is not a choice, or being straight or being right-handed," he said.
Some studies show that asexual behavior exists in the animal world.

LOWELL'S Debut LP 'We Loved Her Dearly' Out 9/16
Lowell is like dynamite: ferocious, unrelenting, and determined - but not only when it comes to her music. Writing each song to empower not only herself, but also her listeners -- to challenge gender conventions and inspire freedom from social limitations. Lowell's refreshingly rebellious approach is what stands her unique brand of sophisticated synth-infused pop apart from the rest. She brilliantly blends deliriously catchy melodies and feminist punk gender politics on her debut full-length record We Loved Her Dearly, set for release September 16 via Arts & Crafts!
Lowell's debut I Killed Sara V. EP garnered the attention of fans and critics alike- includingNPR All Songs Considered, who hailed her as a new artist to watch at SXSW 2014. We recently revealed a video via VICE's Noisey for previously shared cut "88," a song filled with Lowell's remarkable vocals that sear through erratic yet melodic percussion. The debut EP left fans eagerly wanting more and We Loved Her Dearly truly delivers.
To announce her debut album, Lowell's shared the track "I Love You Money", a feminist manifesto with echoing howls, driving bass and anthemic lyrics such as "you live in a man's world, I live in my own world." "I Love You Money" was revealed today with The New York Times' T Magazine and the song is available to listen & share HERE!
In addition to writing openly about topics like sexual abuse, rape, abortion, and women's rights, Lowell boldly addresses the lack of LGBTQ rights in our society - as heard in the celebratory track "LGBT". Taking a cue from the feminist-punk contemporaries that her messaging has often been compared to (Grimes, Beth Ditto), Lowell's brand of pop conveys the urgency of her subject matter, but her melodies keep songs accessible, optimistic and fun.
Lowell's charmingly earnest yet raucous live show commands audiences to their feet. Fans in Toronto will have a chance to experience it live as she performance at the TIME Festivalalongside Flume, Grimes, Majical Cloudz, Death Grips and more.
Stay tuned for more from Lowell coming soon!

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AcelRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACRX), (AcelRx), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for the treatment of acute and breakthrough pain, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. On July 25, 2014, AcelRx announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for the Company's new drug application (NDA) for Zalviso™, (sufentanil sublingual tablet system). Since the receipt of the CRL, AcelRx has been working on a reply and intends to meet with the FDA to discuss the items contained in the CRL.
"We were disappointed with the receipt of a Complete Response Letter for Zalviso and we look forward to meeting with the FDA to clarify the items included in the CRL and to discuss our planned response," stated Richard King, president and CEO of AcelRx. "We have spoken to the FDA and plan to meet with them by the end of September 2014. We anticipate we can refile the Zalviso NDA before the end of 2014, pending the outcome of the meeting with the FDA. We remain confident in the Zalviso development program and will work closely with the FDA to address the Agency's concerns as outlined in the CRL to ensure that healthcare professionals and patient communities will have access to Zalviso."
The CRL contains requests for additional information on the Zalviso System to ensure proper use of the device. The requests include submission of data demonstrating a reduction in the incidence of optical system errors, changes to the Instructions for Use for the device to address inadvertent dosing, among other items, and submission of additional data to support the shelf life of the product. We believe certain of these requests have be

text: Samsung Galaxy S III vs. Galaxy S 4 on paper Differences Stormy Beach 15 March, 2013 5 Comments The specs that are listed out for a device are what many people flock too and what many people rely upon for their choice in devices. With so many online retailers available and many people just waiting for a device in the mail without physically holding it or seeing it, it is no surprise that comparison charts for specs is a must. So what are the on paper differences between the 2012 flagship Galaxy S III and the new Galaxy S 4. Obviously they ditched the roman numeral naming scheme. I think that is sad really. I liked that difference. So what stands out? Working down the list you can see a few things are fairly different. Obviously the Android version is a big one. Being that the Galaxy S 4 will launch with 4.2.2, which is where all the Nexus devices are. If my memory is correct, the S 4 will be the first device to launch with, for now, the most current OS version. There will be difference in the processor used by region, but it looks like the RAM should stay the same. Which is also DDR3 vs DDR2. For a tech geek that will mean more than simply 2GBs. There is talk of a 64GB model. I remember Samsung planning the same thing for the S III, but it never made it out. With HTC pushing the One with 32GBs and 64GBs, Samsung should probably do the same thing. The screen is only 0.2 inches larger, but Samsung managed to keep the device size slightly smaller than the S III. Even if only barely, it was achieved. Which I am very pleased with. While I love my S III, that bezel could have been smaller and the screen could have been bigger. Apparently Samsung thought so too. Then you have the resolution and network stuff. The next most noticeable difference is the inclusion of the IR LED. Yes, technically HTC did it first on the One, but still, it is here on the S 4 as well. The battery is only fairly larger, which is also another perk. Bumping up the processor and the screen size slightly will still give it a toll. I am sure some of the software will do a little damage to its life. I am still looking for a rated talk and standby time though. Based on the 'on paper specs' it is showing some solid, but not outlandish improvements. Slow and steady wins the race. I could have easily handled the thinness of the device to be identical to the S III if it meant they could have put a 2,800 or larger battery inside. We will get into the physical differences and software enhancements as the days roll forward. Especially since chatter is aimed at the Galaxy S 4 just being a beefed up S II. Wasn't the S II just a beefed up S? Or the Note II just a beefed up Note? Sure the designed of each changed to be more elegant looking, but why ruin the look of the Galaxy line by dramatically changing the exterior again? In fact, the international S, S II and S III all have the single home button. The S III just slimmed it up. The specs are from current information available and specific regions and markets will have specifics on processor availability and all that good stuff. Photo via Rosa Golijan G+ Page kstagg An edge to edge screen similar to the HTC One would have been nice. In the US, we have 2GB RAM on our S3's, so to be honest, no real memory improvement there. What does irk me though is that I can't move any music or apps over to the external memory card currently. So even with 16GB, that storage is pointless unless I were to root it, which to be honest, I don't want to do. Curious to see if the S4 would allow apps /music to be moved to ext memory card. http://www.androidspin.com Stormy Beach Hey bud, why can't you move music to the SD card? kstagg Also, does anyone if wireless charger will work on S3? I had heard a while back that it would. Thanks. Not sure if I'd get one though seeing as we only have one Galaxy phone in the house. FILA Think it depends on the carrier version you have. It would have the Qi standard if it does. kstagg Sorry, was referring to offline Google music.

Two-time Grade I stakes winner Harmonious will be sent out with the
intention of reversing the result from their last meeting when she
engages Celtic Princess and six others in Sunday's Grade II, $250,000
John C. Mabee Stakes.
In the last race for both, Celtic Princess prevailed by 2 ¼ lengths
over Harmonious in the Grade II Royal Heroine on July 4 at Hollywood
Park. It was the second start after a five-month layoff for Celtic
Princess, the first race after a nearly five-month break for Harmonious.
And while John Shirreffs, who trains Harmonious for Marty, Pam and
Emily Wygod of Rancho Santa Fe, doesn't consider it a two-horse race –
the field includes defending champion Wasted Tears – he can make a good
case for Harmonious.
"Harmonious hadn't run in a long time and I think she really needed
that last race," Shirreffs said. "She'd had a hard campaign, running in
the Breeders' Cup and a couple of races at Santa Anita so it was time to
give her a little break.
"Hopefully this race will be just perfect for her. We need to get her going again. We've got year-end aspirations for her."
Harmonious, a 4-year-old daughter of Dynaformer and the Storm Cat
mare Jade Tree, is a Kentucky-born homebred of the Wygods who has four
wins and four other in-the-money finishes in 10 career starts for
earnings of $580,420. Her Grade I wins came last year in the American
Oaks at Hollywood Park in July and the Queen Elizabeth II Cup in October
at Keeneland. Harmonious has two runner-up finishes and a third in
three 2011 starts.
The No. 1 post position drawn for the Mabee is not a concern for
Shirreffs and he's going to leave the race strategy to jockey Joel
Rosario, who'll be aboard for the sixth straight time.
"She's very versatile, she can be anywhere depending on the pace of
the race," Shirreffs said. "Everything changes once the gate opens and I
wouldn't want to handcuff (Rosario) with specific instructions. You
hire great riders and you let them do their job."

There was nothing like a little lip service to wake up UCLA's basketball team.
The Bruins appeared in a daze against USC in the first half Saturday night. It had the hangover look from their last effort, a loss to Oregon State.
So Steve Alford took a page from the coaching handbook at halftime.
"We got chewed out," guard Jordan Adams said.
Maybe Alford should have done that with his pregame speech.
The Bruins found another gear in the second half — at least for seven minutes — and carved out an 83-73 victory over USC in the Galen Center.
A win over the Pac-12's last-place team is considered a formality. But for the Bruins (18-5 overall, 7-3 in Pac-12 play) it was like group therapy.
"We felt like we have been playing soft," guard Norman Powell said. "We had a lot of defensive lapses."
This was different, at least in the second half.
"To win games on the road, you have to do it defensively," Powell said.
The Bruins put together a Jekyll-and-Hyde performance — mild-mannered in the first half, a monster in the second half.
UCLA scored the first 10 points after halftime. It grew into a 27-6 run that gave the Bruins a 62-47 lead. USC scored only 11 points in the first 12 minutes of the half.
When asked what he said in the locker room with his team trailing, 41-35, at halftime, Alford said, "Defend."
But it wasn't so much what he said as how he said it, and whom he said it to — Adams, Powell and Kyle Anderson.
"Coaches, they get tense," Adams said. "They get mad. Coach Alford got on me and Kyle and Norman."
But, Adams said, "We don't get chewed out much."
Well, there was last Sunday after the debacle in Corvallis, a 71-67 loss to Oregon State.
"We're fine getting chewed out," Adams said. "We're getting used to it."
This one had an effect.

Unlike some other levels in Android Market, this one is fully functional with calibration capability. It's accurate after calibrated.
iHandy Carpenter is on sale now, you are able to get all the 5 tools in one app today at discounted price!
Check it out!
Because the sensor inside every individual device could be built slightly differently, to make the level more accurate for your device, you need to calibrate before use.
To calibrate:
1. Find a flat surface.
2. Hold your device upright , put the bottom edge of the device on the flat surface, then press Calibrate button (the one with a target image on it) to calibrate the portrait mode.
3. Turn your device 90 degree clockwise , again keep it upright, and put the current bottom edge (long edge) on the flat surface, then press Calibrate button to calibrate the landscape mode.
4. Put the back of the device against the surface, then press Calibration button to calibrate the face-up mode
5. You are ready to go!
Spirit Level
No Permissions Required. Free & No Ads.
For best results touch CAL and calibrate first. The Spirit Level is only as good as your accelerometer. For indication only. Don't damage your tablet or phone, use a real spirit level when appropriate.
Pause button to hold the current reading.
Lock button to stop from automatically changing screen with inclination.
Zero and reset button to make measuring angles easier.
That's it. Enjoy.
Smart Measure
This rangefinder(telemeter) measures the distance and height of a target with your phone by trigonometry.
Usage is simple : just stand up and press the shutter. The important point is aiming the camera at the GROUND, NOT the object. (i.e. In order to measure the distance from someone, aim at his shoes.)
If it is inaccurate, please read the instructions in this app or see the checklist diagram in the blog. Because the sensors on your phone can be changed depending on OS version, firmware and battery status. You can calibrate them with the calibrate menu and settings for yourself.
* Now, 3 tools for distance were completed.
1) Smart Ruler (short, touch) : 1-50cm

Smart Distance
This rangefinder(telemeter) measures the Distance to a target by the camera perspective. The effective distance is 10m-1km. To measure the distance, you should know the height(width) of a target.
Don't worry!! Man's height is 1.7m(5.6ft), a golf flag is 7ft, a bus is 3.2m(10.5ft), a door is 2.1m(7ft). With that, we can guess the height of almost everything. It can be very useful to golfers.

- Show the angle as pitch.
- Tap screen to lock angle.
Sound Meter
REMEMBER!! The built-in microphones were aligned to human voice (300-3400Hz, 40-60dB). Therefore the maximum values are LIMITED by the hardware limitation, and very loud sound(100+ db) cannot be recognized. Moto Droid (max.100), Galaxy S3 (81dB), Galaxy Note (91dB), Galaxy S2 (98dB)...
SPL(sound pressure level) meter app uses your built-in microphone to measure noise volume in decibels(db), and shows a reference. We had calibrated many android devices with the actual sound level meter with dB(A).
See the 4-6th pictures. I had calibrated many android devices with an actual sound level meter. You can trust the result in routine-noise levels (40-70dB). But, please use it as an auxiliary tool.
* Pro version added Features :
- Sound Meter and Vibrometer are integrated
- Statistic menu with saving log data
- CSV file exporting
- Level notification
- Line-chart duration
- More models are calibrated

Wikipedia:Conflict of interest
|This page documents an English Wikipedia behavioral guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply. Any substantive edit to this page should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page.
|This page in a nutshell: Do not edit Wikipedia in your own interests or in the interests of your external relationships.
Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial or other relationships. Any external relationship can trigger a conflict of interest. (The word interest refers here to something that a person has a stake in or stands to benefit from.)[1]
Conflict of interest is not about beliefs or biases. It is about a person's roles and relationships, and the tendency to bias that we assume exists when roles conflict.[2] Deciding that someone has a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgment about that person or her actual beliefs.[3]
COI editing is strongly discouraged. It undermines the public's confidence in Wikipedia as an independent resource, and risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and groups being promoted (see Wikipedia is in the real world). If it causes disruption to the encyclopedia, accounts may be blocked. Paid advocacy is a category of COI editing that involves being compensated by a person or group to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and paid advocacy is an especially egregious form; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice.[4] Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question. They are also required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose their employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which they receive, or expect to receive, compensation.[5]
When investigating COI editing, be careful not to reveal the identity of editors against their wishes. Wikipedia's policy against harassment takes precedence over this guideline. Editors discussing changes to this guideline should disclose during the discussion whether they have been paid to edit Wikipedia.

Wikipedia's position[edit]
|Core content policies
|Other content policies
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a vanity press or forum for advertising or self-promotion. As such it should contain only material that complies with its content policies, and Wikipedians must place the interests of the encyclopedia first.
COI editing is strongly discouraged. COI editors causing disruption may be blocked. Editors with COIs who wish to edit responsibly are strongly encouraged to follow Wikipedia policies and best practices scrupulously. If involved in an area where they have a COI, they should disclose the COI on their user page and during any discussion about the affected topic. If you have a conflict of interest, you can propose changes on the article talk page by using the {{request edit}} template. You can also suggest changes on the conflict-of-interest noticeboard.
Paid advocacy is a subset of COI editing (see WP:NOPAY). The Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use require editors to disclose their employer, client and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which they receive, or expect to receive, compensation.[5] Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes as suggested above. These changes may or may not be acted upon.
Note that you do not control articles and others may delete them, keep them, or add information that would have remained little-known. While Wikipedians generally avoid naming editors and their paymasters, other media routinely do. This has led at times to embarrassment for the organization concerned.
What is conflict of interest?[edit]
External relationships[edit]
While editing Wikipedia, an editor's primary role is to further the interests of the encyclopaedia. When an external role or relationship undermines that primary role, or could reasonably be said to do so, that person has a conflict of interest. For example, a judge's primary role as an impartial adjudicator is undermined if he or she is married to the defendant. Philosopher Michael Davis describes the "standard view" of COI:
A conflict of interest is a situation in which some person P (whether an individual or corporate body) stands in a certain relation to one or more decisions. On the standard view, P has a conflict of interest if, and only if, (1) P is in a relationship with another requiring P to exercise judgment in the other's behalf and (2) P has a (special) interest tending to interfere with the proper exercise of judgment in that relationship. The crucial terms in the standard view are "relationship," "judgment," "interest," and "proper exercise."[6]
Any external relationship – personal, religious, political, academic, financial, and legal – can trigger a COI. How close the relationship needs to be before it becomes a concern on Wikipedia is governed by common sense. For example, an article about a band should not be written by the band's manager, and a biography should not be written by the subject's spouse. But subject-matter experts are welcome to contribute to articles in their areas of expertise, while making sure that their external roles and relationships in that field do not interfere with their primary role on Wikipedia.
Actual, potential, and apparent conflict of interest[edit]
- Actual conflict of interest: an editor has a COI with respect to a certain judgment and is in a position where the judgment must be exercised.[7]
- Example: An editor who owns a company has an actual COI if he edits articles and engages in discussions about that company.
- Potential conflict of interest: an editor has a COI with respect to a certain judgment, but is not in a position where the judgment must be exercised.[7]
- Example: An editor who owns a company has a potential COI with respect to articles and discussions about that company, but if she stays away from those pages, she has no actual COI.
- Apparent conflict of interest: there is reason to believe that an editor has a COI, but that editor does not. Apparent COI causes bad feeling and should be resolved wherever possible.[8]
- Example: An editor has an apparent COI if he edits an article about a company and appears to be the company owner, but in fact has no such connection. Editors with an apparent COI should try to allay suspicion through discussion. One approach is to disclose personal information, either on Wikipedia or privately to a trusted editor, though editors should not feel obliged to do this.
COI, bias, and neutrality[edit]
George G. Brenkert and Tom L. Beauchamp:
"A person is judged to have a conflict of interest on the basis of being in a conflicted situation, whether or not that person thinks he or she is capable of resisting the temptation or corrupting influence of the interest that could interfere with her judgment."[9]
Conflict of interest is not simply bias. Beliefs and desires may lead to biased editing and advocacy, but they do not constitute a COI. Deciding that someone has a COI is a description of a situation, not a description of someone's state of mind.[3]
COI emerges from an editor's roles and relationships, and the tendency to bias that we assume exists when those roles and relationships conflict.[2] COI is like "dirt in a sensitive gauge."[10]
The belief of an editor with a COI that she can remain neutral does not affect the determination that she has a COI. If a judge is involved with a defendant, her role as an impartial adjudicator is undermined no matter how convinced she is that she can remain impartial. Arguing that editors with a COI can remain neutral underestimates the extent to which their judgment may be impaired, the damage COI editing can inflict on public confidence, and the unease it causes within the community.
What is wrong with conflict of interest?[edit]
The first court case to use the term conflict of interest as currently understood was in 1949 in New York.[11] Until the 1950s COI in the professions was addressed by expecting the conflicted individual to act objectively. Brenkert and Beauchamp write that this was naive. COI causes impaired judgment, and conflicted individuals may not know the extent to which they have been influenced. Conversely, a conflicted person might overcompensate in an effort to be fair, leading to decisions he would otherwise not have made.[12]
Davis identifies three problems with allowing a conflicted individual to act as if there is no COI:
- Those with a COI often "esteem too highly their own reliability," and fail to realize how much the conflict has affected their judgment.
- If other people rely on a conflicted individual without knowing about the COI, the latter is letting them believe that his judgment is more reliable than it is. He is betraying their trust.
- If the conflicted individual discloses the COI, there is no betrayal, but the technical problem remains, namely that he is less competent than he would otherwise be. In addition his actions may bring the organization into disrepute.[13]
Escape, disclosure or management[edit]
Davis suggests three ways in which a person with a conflict of interest might proceed.
- The situation causing the COI can be escaped by recusal, whereby the conflicted person removes himself from one of the competing relationships.
- The COI can be disclosed to anyone relying on the conflicted person's judgment, so that others can decide whether to remove that person, or seek a second opinion wherever that person's judgment has been exercised.
- The COI can be managed, with or without disclosure. For example, someone with a conflict might ask others to watch closely whenever he does something where his COI might impair his judgment.[14]
Whether to recuse, disclose or manage depends on the alternative courses of action, how serious the conflict is, the privacy implications of disclosure, and what the consequences would be of exercising compromised judgment.[14]
Financial conflict of interest[edit]
Close financial relationships[edit]
If you have a close financial relationship with a topic you wish to write about – including as an owner, employee, contractor or other stakeholder – you are advised to refrain from editing affected articles.
Paid editing[edit]
Paid editing is the practice of accepting money to edit Wikipedia. It is one form of financial conflict of interest. Paid editors who insert material that is promotional in tone into an article may be presumed to be violating our policy on neutrality.[15] Advertising, promotion, public relations, and marketing are prohibited by our policy WP:NOT.
Paid editors, including those paid by the hour or who submit "billable hours" to justify their salaries, must respect the volunteer nature of the project and keep discussions concise. No editor should be subjected to long or repetitive discussions by someone who is being paid to argue with them. Any editor who refuses to accept a consensus by arguing ad nauseam will likely be violating several Wikipedia guidelines and policies, e.g. WP:Tendentious editing, WP:Disruptive editing, WP:WikiBullying, WP:Own or WP:Civility.
There are exceptions to the general advice that editors with a financial COI refrain from editing affected articles. Benign examples of editors being paid include Wikipedians collaborating with mission-aligned organizations such as galleries, libraries, archives and museums. Another benign example is the reward board, a place where editors can post financial and other incentives: it is a transparent process, the goal of which is usually to raise articles to featured- or good-article status (but be wary of editors asking you to make edits that challenge your sense of neutrality). If you intend to participate in this kind of paid editing, transparency and neutrality are key. Editing in a way that biases the coverage of Wikipedia or that violates our core policies is not acceptable.
Paid advocacy, public relations[edit]
Paid advocacy – that is, being paid to promote something or someone on Wikipedia – is a subset of paid editing. Sue Gardner, executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, wrote in October 2013 that the Foundation regards paid advocacy as a "black hat" practice that "violates the core principles that have made Wikipedia so valuable for so many people."[4]
If the following applies to you:
- you are receiving, or expect to receive, monetary or other benefits or considerations from editing Wikipedia as a representative of an organization (as owner, officer, employee, contractor or other stakeholder; or as employee or contractor of a firm hired by that organization for public-relations purposes)
then you are very strongly discouraged from editing affected articles where those external relationships could reasonably be said to undermine your ability to remain neutral.
- You may use the article talk pages to suggest changes or the {{request edit}} template to request edits. To find an article's talk page, click the 'talk' button at the top of the article. See WP:TEAHOUSE if you have questions about these things.
- You should provide full disclosure of your connection, when using talk pages, making edit requests, and similar. Requested edits are subject to the same editorial standards as any other edit, and other editors may decline to act on them. The writing of "puff pieces" and advertisements is prohibited.
Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use[edit]
The Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require paid editors to disclose their employer, client and affiliation:
These Terms of Use prohibit engaging in deceptive activities, including misrepresentation of affiliation, impersonation, and fraud. As part of these obligations, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
Applicable law, or community and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure.[5]
- a statement on your user page,
- a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
- a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
Laws against covert advertising[edit]
United States Federal Trade Commission[edit]
All editors are expected to follow United States law on undisclosed advertising, which is described by the Federal Trade Commission at Endorsement Guidelines and Dot Com Disclosures. This guideline requires edits to be truthful and substantiated, and not advertising endorsements or subjective testimonials. It "broadly covers advertising claims, marketing and promotional activities, and sales practices in general." (p.2)
European fair trading law[edit]
In May 2012 the Munich Oberlandesgericht court ruled that if a company or its agents edit Wikipedia with the aim of influencing customers, the edits constitute covert advertising, and as such are a violation of European fair trading law (see the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive). The ruling stated that readers cannot be expected to seek out user and talk pages to find editors' disclosures about their corporate affiliation. The case arose out of a claim against a company by a competitor over edits made to the article Weihrauchpräparat on the German Wikipedia. The judgment can be read here.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in the UK reached a similar decision in June 2012 in relation to material about Nike on Twitter. The ASA found that the content of certain tweets from two footballers had been "agreed with the help of a member of the Nike marketing team." The tweets were not clearly identified as Nike marketing communications, and were therefore in breach of the ASA's code.[16]
Copyright, licensing, and paid editing[edit]
Editors are reminded that any new text they contribute to Wikipedia is irrevocably licensed under the terms of a Creative Commons-Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 license and the GNU Free Documentation License. Any new writing, including talk-page comments, can be freely copied, modified, deleted, reproduced, altered and quoted by third parties for commercial and non-commercial use, with the sole requirement that the contribution be attributed to Wikipedia contributors.
Other categories of conflict of interest[edit]
If you are involved in a court case, or you are close to one of the litigants, you should not write about the case, or about a party or law firm associated with the case.
Campaigning, political[edit]
Activities regarded by insiders as simply "getting the word out" may appear promotional or propagandistic to the outside world. If you edit articles while involved with campaigns that engage in advocacy in the same area, you may have a conflict of interest. Similarly, editors should not edit articles in which they have a political conflict of interest. Examples:
- Government employees should not edit articles about their agencies, government, political party, political opponents, opposition groups, or controversial political topics, with the intent to slant or spin an article in a manner that is politically advantageous to their employer.
- Political candidates or their staff should not edit articles about themselves, their supporters or opponents.
- Reliably sourced, notable material written in a neutral point of view should not be deleted from articles with the intent of protecting the political interests of a party, agency or government.
Writing about yourself and your work[edit]
You and your circle[edit]
You should not create or edit articles about yourself, your family, or friends. If you or they are notable enough, someone else will create the article. You should also avoid writing about yourself or people you know in articles on other topics. This includes people with whom you could reasonably be said to have an antagonistic relationship in real life. If you have a personal connection to a topic or person, you are advised to refrain from editing those articles directly, from adding related advertising links, links to personal websites and similar, and to provide full disclosure of the connection if you comment about the article on talk pages or in other discussions.
An exception to editing an article about yourself or someone you know is made if the article contains defamation or a serious error that needs to be corrected quickly. If you do make such an edit, follow it up with an email to WP:OTRS, Wikipedia's volunteer response team, or ask for help on WP:BLPN, our noticeboard for articles about living persons.
Citing yourself[edit]
Using material you have written or published is allowed within reason, but only if it is relevant, conforms to the content policies, including WP:SELFPUB, and is not excessive. Citations should be in the third person and should not place undue emphasis on your work. When in doubt, defer to the community's opinion.
Advice for editors with a COI[edit]
If you write about yourself, your group or your company, once the article is created, you have no right to control its content, or to delete it outside the normal channels. Content is irrevocably added with every edit. If there is anything publicly available on a topic that you would not want to have included in an article, it will probably find its way there eventually.
Non-controversial edits[edit]
Editors who may have a general conflict of interest are allowed to make certain kinds of non-controversial edits (but note WP:NOPAY above). They may:
- remove spam and revert unambiguous vandalism,
- remove content that unambiguously violates the biography of living persons policy,
- fix spelling and grammatical errors,
- revert or remove their own COI edits,
- make edits where there is clear consensus on the talk page (though it is better to let someone else do it), and
- add reliable sources, especially when another editor has requested them (but note the advice above about the importance of using independent sources).
If the article you want to edit has few involved editors, consider asking someone at the talk page of a related Wikiproject for someone to make the change. If another editor objects for any reason, then it's a controversial edit. Such edits should be discussed on the article's talk page.
Wikipedians in residence, cultural sector[edit]
Wikipedians in residence (WiRs) are editors who work with organizations that are aligned with our mission:
- to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally.[17]
WiRs serve as a liaison between the Wikipedia community and members of the mission-aligned organization. They must not engage in public relations or marketing for that organization and they must operate within the bounds defined by "the core characteristics of a Wikipedian in Residence" at Outreach. They must work closely with a Wikipedia project or the general Wikipedia community. Whether or not they are paid by the organization, they must identify their WiR status on their user page and on talk pages related to their organization when they edit them. We encourage WIRs and the members of their organizations to participate in building Wikipedia.
Cultural-sector professionals[edit]
Museum curators, librarians, archivists, and similar are encouraged to help improve Wikipedia, or to share their information in the form of links to their resources. If a link cannot be used as a reliable source, it may be placed under further reading or external links if it complies with the external links guideline. Bear in mind that Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files. For more information, see Wikipedia:Advice for the cultural sector.
Photographs and media files[edit]
Those with a potential conflict of interest are encouraged to upload good-quality digital media files that are appropriately licensed for Wikipedia and that improve our coverage of a subject. For more information, follow the instructions at Commons. In some cases, the addition of digital media files to an article may be a non-controversial edit that editors with a conflict of interest can make directly; however editors should exercise discretion and rely on Talk pages when images may be controversial or promotional. If the addition of an image is challenged by another editor, it is not uncontroversial.
Do not create a shared organizational account or use the name of the organization as the account name. The account is yours, not your employer's. It is recommended that such editors declare their affiliation on their user pages.
Declaring an interest[edit]
Some editors declare an interest in a particular topic area. The benefits of this are that most editors will appreciate your honesty and may try to help you; you lay the basis for requesting help from others to post material for you, or to review material you wish to post yourself, and public relations professionals may be required to abide by code of ethics, such as the GA code of ethics or PRSA code of ethics. The disadvantage of declaring your interest is that people outside Wikipedia, such as reporters, may identify you and generate negative publicity for you, your group or your company. Some COI declarations have the effect of announcing your real name (see WP:REALNAME). Do not publicly declare an interest if this could put you at harm in the real world, e.g., from stalkers.
- See this 2008 example of a disclosure on an article Talk page and 2013 example of a disclosure on a User page.
How to handle conflicts of interest[edit]
If an editor directly discloses information that clearly demonstrates that he or she has a COI as defined in this guideline or has made one or more paid contributions as per the Terms of Use, raise the issue with the editor in a civil manner on the editor's Talk page, citing this guideline. If the editor does not change his or her behavior to comply with this guideline and/or the Terms of use, create a posting on WP:COIN, following the instructions there. Relevant article talk pages may be tagged with {{Connected contributor}}, and the article itself may be tagged with {{COI}}. COI allegations should not be used as a "trump card" in disputes over article content.
If an editor edits in a way that leads you to believe that he or she might have a conflict of interest or might have made one or more paid contributions, remember to assume good faith. Consider whether the editor's use of sources complies with WP:RS and sourcing guidelines, and whether the issue may be advocacy. The appropriate forum for concerns about sources is WP:RSN. The appropriate forum for concerns about advocacy is WP:NPOVN. If there are concerns about sock- or meatpuppets, please bring that concern to WP:SPI.
Avoid outing[edit]
Wikipedia places importance on the ability of editors to edit pseudonymously. When investigating COI editing, the policy against harassment takes precedence and requires that Wikipedians must take care not to reveal the identity of editors against their wishes. Instead, examine editors' behavior and refer to Wikipedia:Checkuser. In asking an editor if they have COI, the request should clearly indicate that it is entirely optional for them to answer.
Importance of civility[edit]
During discussions on articles' talk pages and at articles for deletion, disparaging comments are sometimes made about the subject of the article, its author, or the author's motives. Such comments should be avoided, since they may be seen as forbidden personal attacks, and may discourage the article's creator from making future valuable contributions. Remember not to bite the newcomers.
Dealing with single-purpose accounts[edit]
Accounts that appear to be single-purpose accounts that exist for the sole or primary purpose of promotion or denigration of a person, company, product, service, website, organization, etc., and whose postings are in apparent violation of this guideline, should be made aware of this guideline and warned not to continue their problematic posting. If the same pattern of editing continues after the warning, the account may be blocked.

|EVERY 6 WEEKS CASTRO STREET LOCATION IS NOW OPEN! Come see us at 491 Castro Street above Citizen Clothing.
