Hello, Slofrau, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Wikishovel (talk) 14:42, 21 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello Wikishovel, thank you for the welcome. I can assure you that I do not have sock puppet accounts and that I only created the page. I'm guessing Dethfire is most likely the owner of the forum: Greg Bernhardt. Greg resurrected a page at the forum from 2013 which asked why 'Physics Forums' didn't have a wiki entry, and its creation this morning is a result of the new additions to the conversation.
 * https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/wiki-page-for-physics-forums.702445/
 * My identity there is 'OmCheeto'.
 * About the only coordination so far was me creating the page at Greg's prompt; "Ok I've added in some details. @OmCheeto let's publish!"
 * Those details were added to my sandbox incarnation of Physics Forums and I was quite surprised that another user could edit them. Is that a bug or a feature?
 * In any event, thank you for not banning me, yet. ;) Slofrau (talk) 19:53, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying: it makes a welcome change from the evasion and coverup I've seen so much of lately. I'm sure nobody's going to ban you, as you've done nothing wrong. Please just keep any future coordination of editing on Wikipedia itself: article talk pages, user talk pages, etc. This keeps everything out in the open, with the excellent side effect of like-minded editors noticing the article you're working on, and helping you out (sometimes in wonderfully unexpected ways). I'm a fan of PF, so will hereby recuse myself from any future discussions on notability etc. Best of luck with the article! Wikishovel (talk) 20:10, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Please do not create a page on anything at the owner's prompt. That puts you in a situation of Conflict of interest, which you should disclose, and such a situation means it is extremely advised for you to ask for further edits through edit requests on the talk page, rather than editing directly.

 * Sorry, yes Chaotic Enby is absolutely right about conflict of interest, and I should have picked up on that. Please also declare the conflict of interest at your user page: the link that Chaotic Enby posted above explains how to do that. Wikishovel (talk) 05:08, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Done! Also, it looks as though someone else put my COI on the Physics Forums talk page before I could get to it. Thanks! Slofrau (talk) 17:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
