]{{Senior Editor III}}Hi. My name is David King. I'm probably Misplaced Pages's most prolific author of ranked content about organizations, after having written about 40 "Good Article" ranked pages. Most of those projects were sponsored through my work as , while others were done on a regular volunteer basis. I also wrote ], which is a must-read for anyone heavily involved in company articles. ]{{Senior Editor III}}Hi. My name is David King. I'm Misplaced Pages's most prolific author of ranked content about extant organizations. As the owner/operator of , my current work here is sponsored by the article-subject. I also use to edit as a volunteer and authored ].

In August 2015, there was consensus at ANI that Misplaced Pages's Terms of Use require a sponsored editor to not only disclose a conflict of interest, but the names of all organizations involved. Since my small business is a one-person operation and I am required to disclose it, this effectively ended my ability to edit anonymously. As a result I have retired from volunteer editing on BLPs, business pages, or contentious articles, where I am no longer protected by anonymity from legal threats, harassment or bullying from article-subjects and opinionated editors. Therefore, you can correctly assume anywhere I am contributing to since then is in my role as Ethical Wiki.

The way my sponsored editing works is that in 70% of cases I recommend article-subjects abstain. Typically the article-subject feels their article is unfair or incorrect, but it isn't actually. In other cases they may not be notable or may not have good intentions. In the 30% of cases that I qualify, I offer to write an article that complies with Misplaced Pages's content policies. They are given a commenting period to review my work for factual errors, but I insist on editorial independence. While I am not immune to the influence a conflict of interest may have on my contributions, I have a long history of making good, neutral articles in this role.
