Conflict of interest (Lawrence W. Sherman)
Hi Jeff,

a while ago I made some minor edits to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_W._Sherman And a mark has appeared saying that a major contributor has a close connection to the subject.

I saw you also sent me a message on here but I don't log in often. I am employed by Professor Sherman and disclosed that to be the case. We would like to have that box removed, in the interim, would it be possible for you to revert to the original article/page before I edited it and take the warning off?

Then, I saw in your message I could send you my proposed edits and if you approve, they can be published without that warning marker, is that correct?

Could we proceed in that way, please?

Kind regards, Susanne Susanne Knabe-Nicol (talk) 14:33, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. You claimed in this log entry that a photo of the subject of Lawrence W. Sherman was your own work. You have yet to properly display Template:UserboxCOI or Template:Paid on User:Susanne Knabe-Nicol related to the subject without nowiki tags. However, I undid our edits in this edit as requested, and I suggest you post suggestions to Talk:Lawrence W. Sherman. Also, you made a similar mistake to Bond's when he gets people to call him Bond James Bond.  — Jeff G. ツ 17:40, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Conflict of interest (Tulsa Zoo)
Hi Jeff, Last year I made edits to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_Zoo

Those edits were removed because of the conflict of interest clause. I immediately changed of my username from TulsaZoo to muddypebbles. Then, I noted changes in the talk page as suggested, transparently listing that I am employed by the Tulsa Zoo. Can you please look to see if these changes fix the issues listed at the top of the page:

The neutrality of this article is disputed. (May 2019) This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (May 2019)

Thank you for your help! Muddypebbles (talk) 21:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I transferred the above to Talk:Tulsa Zoo.  — Jeff G. ツ 03:08, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

HELP..
Hey there! I hope all is well. I'm a newbie to Wikipedia, so I'd really appreciate a little guidance from a seasoned editor, such as yourself.

Are all articles published on Wikipedia? Do I need any particular skills to learn how to navigate Wikipedia?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards, Black.Elephant.Ed

 * Hi, and welcome. Not all articles are published on Wikipedia. The skills you already developed in making a new section, signing your post, customizing your signature, and publishing your changes will serve you well. If you want to write your first article, please read WP:MFA. I just sent you a welcome message on your user talk page with some useful tips and links.
