Disambiguation link notification for July 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jane M. Carlton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page STD (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

References and conflict of interest
I see that you are working very hard on biographical articles about academics at New York University, and can only assume that you are an employee of that university. Two things to bear in mind are that references in articles should be to sources about the article subject, rather than written by the subject, and, more importantly, that you need to understand Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest. Your editing has the potential to cause severe embarrassment to the university if it continues in the same vein. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:24, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Opting in to VisualEditor
As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 100 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, " ". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:24, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Paid editing disclosure
As of today, your last edit to Wikipedia was on 9 August 2013. Please note that since then, Wikipedia now has a mandatory and non-negotiable policy on paid editing disclosure. If you return to Wikipedia and intend to write articles about people or things related to your employer, you must first provide disclosure of what articles you are being paid to edit and who is paying you. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:33, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
