Talk:John Elliott Tappan

COI tag (April 2024)
article creator User:TAPPANHEHER has the same surname and has bypassed WP:AFC to move directly to mainspace, against advice. Theroadislong (talk) 14:09, 18 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Sorry what do you mean? I added references as requested and moved a page to be considered for publication p. How is this "against advice"? I request a full explanation from you for this action. TAPPANHEHER (talk) 14:21, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Further this is User name is NOT my surname. Which can prove. Why would you assume this? That is very unprofessional, and again I request an explanation. TAPPANHEHER (talk) 14:23, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, but it's bound to arouse suspicion if your user name parrots the articles you are working on. Theroadislong (talk) 14:32, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I am a former employee of the company he founded and have great admiration for him hence the article, your assumption is misguided and as I said, unprofessional. I plan to take this issue up with higher authority at Wikipedia.

 * Your user name contains the name of the subject Tappan and the author of the main source used, Carol Heher, so it is entirely correct to question if there is a connection per WP:COI. I welcome you taking this up with a "higher authority at Wikipedia". Please also note that being a former employee of the company he founded is a clear conflict of interest which you need to disclose on your user page. Theroadislong (talk) 14:52, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
