Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jkorsunsky. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Grégory Katz, 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;

 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

A crash course in Wikipedia
Hello editors, I am new to editing in Wikipedia, and so far it's been a learning experience, to say the least. Firstly, I have just declared my status as a paid editor at the top of this page. I was unaware that such a step was necessary, nor did I know that such a status existed. However, after reading the related articles, I perfectly understand the need for this and am more than happy to comply. I am a freelance writer and have been working off an on for Gregory Katz for more than 10 years as a medical writer and translator, and am therefore familiar with his work. Katz, an academic, is currently paying me by the hour to improve the Gregory Katz article. I am not a "professional" wikipedia editor. This is the first article I have edited, and I do not plan on making a career of this. I have the utmost respect for the wikipedia enterprise and like many people am a frequent user. My goal, and Katz's goal for that matter, is to remove obsolete or erroneous information, and to update and expand the article with more recent information. The fact that a large chunk of my editing was recently removed has led me to better understand the standards and form expected of a wiki article, and I wish to comply with such standards to the best of my understanding. I look forward to presenting requests for further changes on this Talk page, and to having open discussion with other editors.

Your article, My edits
I have edited your article and removed content. I will explain to you why I removed it, so that you dont put it back again and again without even knowing what is going on. As this seems to be part of your job. This edit removed content that was not sourced. To put it back you need a source that is according to WP:RS that says the same thing. In my second edit I rearranged the article wording a little bit and then removed his awards. The awards are a problem because I cannot find any mention of them anywhere. I mean if you win an oscar, there are reliable sources telling us what an oscar is. On the other hand, we have no knowledge of what these awards are. On top of that, the first two websites do not match the content. In my third edit I removed the award his book had recieved because once again, no sources that such an award exists.
