Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Curtisdickman. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Curtis Dickman, 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. jp×g 22:23, 30 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Doc, why don't you just open a COI edit request on the talk page for your article? I would be glad to perform the edits for you if you're adding stuff with citations to reliable sources -- editing it yourself is probably just going to get you blocked and reverted. jp×g 22:43, 30 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I have reverted your recent edits. Unsourced information should not be added to a WP:BLP, plus Wikipedia is not the place for a long list of academic papers as it looks like WP:PROMO. If you are Curtis Dickman I suggest you declare your WP:COI as JPxG outlined above, and propose requested edits to the article talk page rather than making them yourself. Thank you. -Kj cheetham (talk) 17:26, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you Kj Cheetham. I didn't realize the restriction and I regret violating the policy. My page has been dormant for a long time and I wanted to add facts about my career and life that are important. I was planning on adding reliable sources of the facts after I added the content, but it was removed before I had an opportunity to revise it.
 * I will add a WP:COI and propose requested edits to the article talk page rather than making them myself. I appreciate the advice. Curtisdickman (talk) 15:59, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * thank you. I appreciate your offer to help and will submit a COI edit request. Curtisdickman (talk) 16:04, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your understanding. The information is still in the Revision history if you need to consult it, but large lists of publications are generally not suitable for Wikipedia even if referenced for instance. I tend to recommend around 5-10 max of selected publications on articles. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:02, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
