question
As this is the only article you have written, and as it is promotional in nature like a press release, not an encyclopedia article. It is reasonable to ask you whether you have any conflict of inteest, as we define it at WP:COI? If you do, you need to sayso. If it is a paid conflict of interest, as we define it at WP:PAID, you need to specify the details, including who is ultimately paying you, and whether there is any intermediate agency or firm involved.

An answer to this is necessary, if we are to proceed further. I can help fix this draft, but I do not fix it for those who are COI editors and do not declare.  DGG ( talk ) 02:27, 28 October 2019 (UTC) ———— Hello -

I have no conflict of interest with this post. It is not promotional. It is simply stating her accomplishments. Given that this is my first post, helpful input for how to change this to make it conform to Wiki standards is appreciated. I am a scientist and professor of biology who admires the work of Dr. Reiss and given her notoriety in the field of immunology, her position as a journal editor and her active work promoting women in science, was inspired to make this my first post. As you must be aware, women are underrepresented in science, and that underrepresentation is magnified on Wikipedia. I wonder if Wiki would have a similar response to a posting about a male scientist -would it be promotional if a man was spoken about in this way or is it just that it is atypical for women to be promoted, and thus questioned whether this is a pay for play piece.

 * I try to check all drafts on biomedical scientists by first time editors. Many of them are somewhat promotional  in style, but this can be either because of COI, or because the widespread promotionalism  in the world in general and in Wikipedia also leads perfectly good-faith editors towards writing in that fashion. So it's reasonable to ask which; I ask, not investigate. The ones who do have a COI usually declare, which is what they are supposed to know.
 * As for what you shoulddo: you should follow the advice I gave you, which is to eliminate minor material, and empty phrases.  DGG ( talk ) 17:01, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
