I am of course honored that Dr. Meselson would deign to contact me though a proxy, but I am unaware of any special privileges he has attained at wikipedia. If he feel that my edits are disruptive or violate wikipedia policy then he can tell me that, but I do not need or want Dr. Meselson's permission to edit articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.79.233.244 (talk • contribs) 14:43, 3 November 2014‎

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Newtwin. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Matthew Meselson, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —&#160;&#160; &#160;&#160;Bill W.&#160;&#160;  &#160;&#160; (Talk)&#160;&#160;(Contrib)&#160;&#160; (User:Wtwilson3) &#160;&#160;— 22:14, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. —&#160;&#160; &#160;&#160;Bill W.&#160;&#160;  &#160;&#160; (Talk)&#160;&#160;(Contrib)&#160;&#160; (User:Wtwilson3) &#160;&#160;— 18:36, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Hey man im josh. I noticed that in this edit to Matthew Meselson, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:57, 13 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Dear Josh,
 * I am Matthew Meselson, and I do not believe this section is relevant. I have removed it several times, and it keeps coming back. Newtwin (talk) 17:58, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are the person in the article, you have a conflict of interest, so you should not edit the article directly and instead make edit requests on the article's talk page. Thanks! >>> Ingenuity . talk ; 18:00, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
