Below are WP pages for which I’d be happy to provide background information via talk pages (& suggest reliable non-Wikipedia sources), but limit my direct editing, due to being too close. It has been interesting to see how this community has evolved on potential COI, and 'original research', while enabling expert editors. For example, this rule: "Primary sources should generally not be used for medical content". (Suggestions are welcome).

My ability to adopt a NPOV can be assessed (non-neutrally) in my inclusion of non-flattering statements about myself (since 1995) on my web page including: my repeating 9th grade, flunking out of graduate school, my personal health records, and potential financial conflicts of interest. I teach a course on bioethics and “responsible conduct of science”. I edit WP using my real name.
