Your edits at Robert Montgomery (physician)
As an apparently brand new editor, you are probably not the best person to be responding to requested editors by conflict of interest editors. You do not seem to have checked that the sources provided correctly verified the proposed content, nor have you correctly responded to the edit request on the talk page. Please take some time to understand and learn wikipedia's policies before undertaking this kind of editing to avoid these problems in future. It would also be helpful if you could clarify whether you have any relationship with the subject of the article that you have chosen to edit in this way, as this kind of editing as your first work on wikipedia is very unusual.

Hello, as mentioned below I do not have any affiliations with Dr Robert Montgomery nor any of his relatives or friends. What would qualify someone to respond to a requested edit by a conflict of interest editor? I apologize for not correctly responding to the proposed edits but I did reach through the provided citations and deemed them acceptable. (Alexander Stonewall (talk) 05:07, 4 December 2018 (UTC))
 * What would be helpful would be if you took some time to read through wikipedia's policies, maybe get familiar with editing here by working on some non-controversial things like grammar, adding content in stubs or short examples etc, before you wade into the fairly contested space of conflict of interest editing. You say you read through the provided citations and deemed them acceptable, but numbers of them did not actually verify or even refer to the specific content they were being used to support. This means you have not clearly understood one of wikipedia's basic principles. Thanks, Melcous (talk) 05:36, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
