Hello, SpencerSawas. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Jessica Kramer, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

We ask that you:

 * 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.

Ways to improve Lucas Timmins
Hello, SpencerSawas,

Thank you for creating Lucas Timmins.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

"Page written by editor who appears to have WP:COI issues with researchers from this university. Page is badly lacking in sources for a WP:BLP, appears to contain much WP:OR, and has excessive detail about unremarkable personal items like type of dog owned, also presented in peacock language. Needs serious WP:REF for claims and material, and a huge re-write for WP:NPOV.  Contains improper links to subject's social media for non-remarkable personal projects.  No categories, see WP:CAT."

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
