First, I will indeed re-write and re-submit the article in accordance with the suggested changes. I appreciate the constructive criticism, which will no doubt improve the article.

Second, I also appreciate the kind approach, and the encouragement of a new editor such as myself. Thank you.

More soon! Andrewincowtown (talk) 18:49, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard

I have recently posted to the Draft section a proposed new article of a living person, Mary Lynne Gasaway Hill, and I am requesting review of the article because I have a Conflict of interest (COI)- I am related to the subject of the article.

I will also put up a request for review of the article in the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard.

Thank you. Best wishes, Andrewincowtown (talk) 20:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, I have declined your request edit because it does not outline what the concerns with the article are. It takes a lot of time and energy for someone to review an article; it is easier if you open a new request on the article's talk page that 1) outlines the problem areas, 2) suggests the exact wording you would like placed in the article, and 3) includes the sources that will be cited. If you have any questions please go to the WP:TEAHOUSE or the WP:HELPDESK. Z1720 (talk) 16:19, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

COI on Draft:Mary Lynne Gasaway Hill
Thanks for mentioning your COI on the above article. I'll leave a note next on how to properly declare it on your user page, but basically at minimum you need a sentence saying "I have a COI with respect to Draft:Mary Lynne Gasaway Hill." --- Possibly &#9742; 02:17, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * AH, I see you left a COI template on the article talk page. Thanks, that is enough for disclosure. I published the article since she meets WP:NPROF as a member of the Royal Society of Arts. Some details have been trimmed, since we try to avoid having too many sources that are written and published by someone's employer (there are/were many). Since you have COI, the appropriate thing is to leave a talk page edit request if you want to change something in the article. Thanks for your contributions.   --- Possibly &#9742; 02:28, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your time and attention to the article. I completely understand the edits, and will make sure to follow the COI guidelines.

Again, thanks! Andrewincowtown (talk) 23:01, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Andrewincowtown. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. --- Possibly &#9742; 02:17, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. --- Possibly &#9742; 16:11, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

As per your notice, I have edited my User page.

By way of explanation, I can only offer that when I set up the page years ago, I thought of it as a traditional "Bio" page, and have not thought about it much since.

However, I completely agree that it was not inline with Wikipedia guidelines. I hope it is now.

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because I will promptly address the issue.
