Hello, Tomofidabio, 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. Theroadislong (talk) 18:57, 27 September 2021 (UTC) Theroadislong, thank you for pointing this out. It looks like I did create two accounts, both of which are me. It was an accident and I'd like to delete one. I signed out of tomsapid and tried to sign into tomofidaho but can not sign in to it, probably why I created tomsapid in the first place. Can you help me delete tomofidaho? Thank you in advance for your help.
 * Accounts can't be deleted, you will need to abandon one of them. Theroadislong (talk) 19:31, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

paid editing again
As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Tomofidabio, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 14:21, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for spelling this out clearly for me. I have added the disclosure to my user page. Tomofidabio (talk) 13:41, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Ligand binding assay, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 14:24, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I have added back the same text but this time I also added a reference to a review article that supports the text. Tomofidabio (talk) 15:29, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Tomofidabio. 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, 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. You should not be adding content about Kinetic exclusion assay to articles, as you have a conflict of interest, you need to use the "request edit" system on the assorted article talk pages.

 * ok, I understand. I have added a request for editing.  In my first attempt I screwed up and added it to my own talk page but went back and added it to the ligand binding assay talk page too.  It's frustrating but I can see why this is the policy and I will make use of the  functionality going forward.
 * Thank you for your patience with me Tomofidabio (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I have removed the no wiki code for you, otherwise it doesn't display. Theroadislong (talk) 18:48, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

a proposed addition to section 4 Non-radioactive binding assays
* Specific text to be added or removed:

Kinetic exclusion assay

Kinetic exclusion assay (KinExA) measures free (unbound) ligand or free receptor present in a mixture of ligand, receptor, and ligand-receptor complex. The measurements allow quantitation of the active ligand concentration and the binding constants (equilibrium, on and off rates) of the interaction.

* Reason for the change: kinetic exclusion assay is a popular complimentary assay to the other methods included.

* References supporting change: Darling, Ryan J; Brault, Pierre-Alexandre (2004). "Kinetic Exclusion Assay Technology: Characterization of Molecular Interactions". ASSAY and Drug Development Technology. 2 (6): 647–657.
