Explanation of issue: Above are the five sections of text that I deleted in August 2018 [before I was aware of the coi issues]. Documentation for each was not at a level that could meet Wiki’s standards.

Please consult assigning editor

For the purpose of this review it will be assumed that what is meant by "please remove the box" is the COI maintenance template dated February 2019.
If that is the case, then it is recommended that, as a courtesy, you first try asking the editor who assigned the template — in this case Melcous — in order to find out from them if it can be removed. Since they placed the template, they are in the best position to know whether or not the issues which caused its placement have been corrected. You may contact them by placing a new message on their talk page. In the unlikely event that you do not hear back from them after a reasonable amount of time, please reopen this request by altering the {{request edit}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=yes to |ans=no. Thank you!

Thanks Spintendo, I have removed the COI template given the disclosure made here, and made another attempt to tidy up the resume-type language - there are still a few citations needed for various statements. Melcous (talk) 23:02, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help, Melcous, appreciated. Will deal with citation requests as quickly as possible. Lookafter Thepennies (talk) 07:35, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for next bunch of help; your time appreciated (3/3/2019)Lookafter Thepennies (talk) 08:54, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
