Conflict of Interest
If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Singularity42 (talk) 18:51, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Gerald Drucker. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Possible conflicts of interest re Roy Sydney Baker-Falkner article
As your username matches the author of one of the sources used on the article, I think you need to have a read through of this Conflict of interest guideline. If you are uncertain about anything to do with that, there are people available to help. GraemeLeggett (talk) 05:17, 28 June 2022 (UTC)


 * It seems its more than one of the sources. Could you identify all the sources that you've contributed to, please? GraemeLeggett (talk) 20:51, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Graeme, I really have no idea how many over the past decades, i do know however that the supposed copyright author WW2incolour.com has clearly copied text and photographs from other sources and is not the author of the text I have uploaded to wikipedia. They have not even added photo or text links or citations, and incorrectly spelt his name.https://www.ww2incolor.com/gallery/canadian-forces/45253/lieutenant-commander-baker-faulkner

I have spent a lot of effort to source the citations but would be happy for others to research and develop the page. Many book references could be added notably about Baker-Falkner and the Tirpitz, as well as much original source information at the National Archives, Veteran Affairs Canada etc Grahamdrucker (talk) 23:03, 28 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I think to avoid issues around sourcing 1) we need other works contributing to the sourcing but 2) we need to avoid primary sources per No original research GraemeLeggett (talk) 17:37, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
