User talk:Cimarron2022!

Welcome!
Hello, Cimarron2022!, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Pete Burleson, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Eagleash (talk) 20:59, 25 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback. This appears to be a templated response.  Can you tell me exactly what the conflict of interest is?  Thanks!
 * Cimarron2022! (talk) 21:07, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Your username indicates some sort of connection so the matter has to be clarified. Eagleash (talk) 02:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Pete Burleson was directly associated with a number of individuals (e.g., Clay Allison, Davy Crockett, Governor Axtell, George Curry, the Coe cousins), events (e.g., Colfax County War) and locations (e.g., Lincoln and Colfax Counties) that have specific Wikipedia articles. This article complements those articles already contained in Wikipedia.
 * The biographical article includes numerous references that support the life events included therein. No personal opinion or conjecture was injected in the article.  The similarity in the username does not influence the objectivity and content of the article.   Cimarron2022! (talk) 16:06, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for replying; however, the question has not been answered. Other existing articles etc. do not affect a possible CoI nor does the veracity or objectivity or quality of an article have any bearing on whether there is a CoI. Please review WP:COI and make any declarations considered necessary. If considered 'not' then please say so here. FWIW, similarities in usernames to article content is often a bit of a 'red flag' to AfC reviewers as is the use of a subject's given name throughout an article. Eagleash (talk) 23:45, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * With respect the the COI and article on Pete Burleson, I do not believe a conflict of interest exists. Though the article does talk about "family" I had no knowledge of Pete Burleson prior to researching his background.  My interest stemmed from research as a retired professor who had taught New Mexico History.  As to familial ties, at best, Pete Burleson would be a 4th or 5th cousin 3 x removed.  He is essentially related but more in name than in family ties.  I hope this resolves the COL issue.  Thanks! Cimarron2022! (talk) 13:55, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I have placed a comment at the draft accordingly. Incidentally, in the lead it reads 'notorious' cowboys. Is that actually the intention as this implies fame but with unfavourable overtones? Eagleash (talk) 14:24, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks!  Yes, both Allison and Crockett merited the "unfavorable overtone" distinction!  Their often questionable behavior became worse when fueled by alcohol.  Both met early deaths as a result.  Thanks again. Cimarron2022! (talk) 14:32, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
