Since the publication of this essay by Esfahbod on August 17, 2020, there have been multiple coverage of their story (example). Due to COI, I refrain from further edits. Shervinafshar (talk) 03:40, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why you may have a COI, but I thank you for disclosing it. Please feel free to request an edit. Pahlevun (talk) 11:22, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "knowing a person" constitutes COI. It's only where one's opinions about a person interfere with the editing or factuality of an article that that might apply. -- Evertype·✆ 00:57, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
