Sandbox development
The Senate confirmation process is quite complicated and also completely new to me. So instead of working live, Iopted to work up this material in a sandbox: User:RobbieIanMorrison/sandbox/work in progress meeF9M. And Iplan to copy that material across to here on circa 22April 2022. Please leave comments here or otherwise engage with me if you like to contribute or object. Best,RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 23:37, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Given your conflict of interest, I suggest that you abide by WP:COI and only make suggestions on the talk page. The tone of your sandbox writing seems a little too technical per WP:NOTJOURNAL. KidAd  •  SPEAK  23:54, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * . Thanks for getting back. Could you please elaborate as to why you believe Ihave a COI in this case?  Iwrote recently on your talk page that "Ihave never met Joe in person but do know him in passing professionally — we are both energy system modelers."  So let me detail my interactions with ProfessorDeCarolis to date.  I had some email exchange when I wrote an academic paper (doi:10.1016/j.esr.2017.12.010) published April 2018 that discussed his TEMOA numerical model as part of a broader scientific review.  And Ihad another email response in public when Irecently posted a note to this google groups thread: Joe DeCarolis nominated to lead Energy Information Administration following his Senate confirmation hearings.  And then some followup to obtain the current headshot as displayed.  And for completeness, Iam not being paid in cash or in kind to make these edits.  To conclude, Ihave been open with you (and now here) about my relationship and Ido not believe I meet the threshold for COI editing.  Istress that Iam not a friend.  But am simply interested solely in the (very open) perspective and direction that ProfessorDeCarolis will bring to the EIA as its new administrator.  And Ihave had some limited academic contact about five years back.  Regarding your advice on suitable tone, that can be worked upon.  RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 05:22, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Also to add that Ihave never co‑authored with Professor DeCarolis on any publication, academic or gray. Nor have I contributed to any of his projects in any form (nor viceversa).  Ihave nonetheless cited his work on several occasions and am generally quite familiar with it (surely that is useful?).  RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 10:16, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The transfer of copy originally planned for 22April is now on hold while I seek advice or even a determination as to the presence or absence of a COI on my part. See Help desk. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * And see also here: Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 17:50, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The outcome is that I will refrain from making direct edits. In which case Ineed to request some editing in the appropriate forums.  In the meantime, feel free to harvest material from the aforementioned sandbox.  The two images of Professor DeCarolis would be a useful place to start.
