As there is the potential risk of accusations of Conflict of Interest, editors may wish to include a statement on their user page along the lines of:
<blockquote>I am (insert name). I work for (insert name of institution) as a Web officer (or similar title). Part of my role is to improve the wikipedia articles about academics of my employer. I have attended a workshop where policies about the Neutral point of view, Biographies of Living People, Conflict of Interest and Paid Editing were discussed. I am aware of potential conflicts in this area. If you see any issues with my editing please contact me via my talk page.</blockquote>
