Conflict of interest in Wikipedia
Hi Urologymd1. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing, which is mostly about health and medicine. Your edits to date are on a bit of a run about the Penuma penis implant, and violate several of our policies and guidelines. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, Urologymd1. 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 COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * 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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Comments and requests
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. Unmanaged conflicts of interest can also lead to people behaving in ways that violate our behavioral policies and cause disruption in the normal editing process. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Hello! I absolutely understand the need to disclose, and my apologies for not doing so earlier - I am new to editing on Wikipedia. I am not connected directly to Penuma. I am a urologist in Los Angeles who has had an opportunity to observe the Penuma implant procedure and have done independent research on it. My apologies that my entries came off as advertisements. I would simply like to include the Penuma implant procedure as a discussed option. I tried to reference articles from the FDA's website and published articles from PubMed. I will of course make sure that any edits going forward are framed in an unbiased manner that simply presents information. Please let me know if you have any further feedback.

Hi Dr. Heilman, my apologies again for the issues caused here. I am committed to being a helpful contributor to the Wikipedia community, and I'd like to take whatever steps necessary to be able to contribute again to the site in a manner consistent with community guidelines. As requested, I've added my email address to my profile. Like I mentioned, I do not have a financial arrangement with Penuma nor any conflicts of interest with respect to the product. I have observed the procedure, and it may be an option for patients provided that the potential risks and complications are disclosed in advance. Please let me know what additional steps I should take in this regard. In the meantime, if given the opportunity, I commit to providing contributions that are unbiased and referenced with high quality sources similar to the FDA reference I used in one instance. Thank you again for your consideration.

 * You have been requested to disclose your COI with respect to the product you are writing about on multiple pages. You have also been requested to use higher quality sources. You need to agree to that before you can return to editing. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 18:50, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Penuma


A tag has been placed on Penuma, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Jytdog (talk) 20:20, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
