Hello, Pascoeej. 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 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. Melcous (talk) 11:22, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Your edits
Please stop making the same edits when they have been reverted and a number of issues have been pointed out - including marking them as WP:MINOR when they are not; using external links which should not be within articles; and most importantly adding content that is not properly sourced. You should also respond to the question as to whether you have a connection with the subject of the article before continuing to edit. Thank you Melcous (talk) 12:01, 15 September 2021 (UTC) Hi, sorry this is my first try at editing a Wikipedia page. I am just trying to get my head around it. I appreciate your input.

 * thank you for responding. Can you please read the above section about conflict of interest carefully and clarify if you have a connection to the subject you are editing about? This is not necessarily a problem, but if you do you are asked to disclose it. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 13:51, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

I don't have a connection to the subject, nor am I being paid to make edits on the page. Pascoeej (talk) 20:45, 15 September 2021 (UTC) I'm trying to learn more about research and this is my first attempt at updating a Wikipedia page. I really appreciate your input so far and would be happy to hear any further feedback you may have Pascoeej (talk) 22:41, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying that. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask them here or on my talk page. The main things to remember are that all content should be written neutrally (so not, for example, like a resume or website promoting a person or their work) and should be verifiable by reference to reliable, independent, secondary sources. The key issues with the Dominic O'Sullivan article at the moment is the sources - are there sources that are independent of him (i.e. not from places he works for or interviews with him) that can be added?
