Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Melharte. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page John Harte (scientist), 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, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 20:50, 5 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, Thanks for pointing this out. The page was originally started by someone else, and as a fellow scientist and wife of the subject, I did my best to add significantly to the professional biography, including factual description of historically important research (with supporting citational links], unpaid in any way. When John pointed out that wikipedia felt me work was substandard, I tried again to address the points with a further edit. Re the COI, I followed your COI links and quite frankly, didn't understand how to proceed. I would greatly appreciate it if you could add the appropriate COI on this page for me, which you indicated was possible. Please let me know when you do. Meanwhile, if you feel I'm not doing a good factual job, I'll stand back from further editing. Please let me know, thanks! Melharte (talk) 00:27, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * If you feel that I could do a better and adequate job, I would greatly appreciate specific suggestions and guidance for how to proceed, thanks! Melharte (talk) 00:31, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
