Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology
Hi Nordslet - I'm writing to let you know that I have unfortunately reverted your edits to the aforementioned article for violating copyright, as their text was copied directly from the abstract of the paper in question, and there is no evidence of permission to reuse the abstract's text. Here at Wikipedia we are required to present material in our own words, and we cannot legally accept copyrighted material without an appropriate and verifiable license. Copying text from other sources has more information. Cheers, and happy editing, Dylan 620  (he/him · talk · edits) 01:31, 5 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Dylan620 - Thank you. I've corrected the page to re-draft things so the descriptions are bespoke. I hope this sorts the major concerns with my edits. Nordslet (talk) 02:01, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I am satisfied with the reworded passage and I thank you for doing so; however, I do need to re-add the template you removed because administrative intervention is still required to assess whether the copyright-violating revisions should be deleted under criterion RD1. -- Dylan 620 (he/him · talk · edits) 15:55, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Nordslet. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 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. DanCherek (talk) 16:26, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * DanCherek- Thank you for this information. I was not trying to advertise or create links to personal pages. I was simply trying to update this page because it was created by someone quite some time ago, was incomplete (compared to other pages on journals), and outdated. Perhaps you can recommend the best way for these changes to be performed (can I point these out to someone in the community to update)? Alternatively, I can ask others to update this -- but I guess for journals, most people have some connection (as authors, for example). Thank you! 97.95.172.83 (talk) 16:37, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your interest in contributing to Wikipedia. The way to go about this is to first disclose your conflict of interest – this is required. For example, you can put something like on your user page. Then, I recommend suggesting any future edits that you'd like to make on the talk page of the article, using edit requests (you may find the Edit Request Wizard helpful). That will allow the request to be evaluated by an independent editor who can implement the changes directly or offer additional guidance. DanCherek (talk) 16:44, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That's great, thank you for the information DanCherek! Super helpful! 97.95.172.83 (talk) 17:00, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
