Editing with a possible conflict of interest
Hello, Nina Elder. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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;
 * 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 WP: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.
 * Specifically, can I ask if you have any connection to Twila Moon? Thanks. SamHolt6 (talk) 23:40, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi there! I went to elementary school with Twila, and have worked on some projects (all volunteer based) in the distant past. We currently do not have any professional relationships, and I have reviewed all the wikipedia guidelines. There is not a conflict of interest. Nina Elder (talk) 23:58, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Twila Moon
Your contributions are welcome, but it seems you are having difficulty understanding how Wikipedia articles work. Your Draft about Moon goes on quite a while about her biography without providing inline citations, which are required for this sort of article. Your own knowledge of Moon and her career can be helpful in finding references about her, but it's important that you cite those references and not put down things you know but can't find a source for. We also need sources about Moon that are not her own work.

The photo of Moon that you uploaded appears to be used as her profile picture on Twitter and possibly elsewhere on the web. That raises a question about how you claim it as your own work. Since you know Moon from childhood, it's not too strange that you might have taken Moon's favorite photo of her, but it's all too common for people to assume that Twitter profile photos or other photos found on the web are fair game for uploading to Wikipedia and to claim as their "own work". Did you take that photograph?  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 08:43, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

I added more inline citations, including single authored data sets via Science Journal. I did take that photo. Nina Elder (talk) 18:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
 * There's plenty of evidence here that you have a close enough connection with Moon to constitute a conflict of interest worth declaring on your user page. There's nothing wrong with having a connection, but it's best that it is disclosed or explained.
 * I'm afraid the Commons admins have deleted the photo. The next time you upload it, you'll be protecting your work by explaining how it is being used by Moon elsewhere, but that you are the photographer and hold the copyright.
 * The first two paragraphs under research and career are still missing inline citations.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 20:50, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
