Issue about conflict of interest

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

It has been brought to my attention that I have a conflict of interest concerning this page and the page needs an independent editor to review and make any necessary changes so the COI banner can be removed from the head of the article. I appreciate any help you might offer in resolving this issue.

Thank you

Hi @Woonga: is your conflict of interest concerning a personal relationship with Truscott or were you paid to edit this article? You don't need to disclose the details of the relationship but we need this information to properly declare your conflict of interest, as outlined at WP:DISCLOSE. Please post below if you have any questions or at the help desk (click me!) Thanks and happy editing! Z1720 (talk) 02:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Z1720, Thanks for your prompt response. My conflict of interest concerns my personal relationship with Truscott only. I am not paid to edit. In fact, even though I have had a Wikipedia account for some years, I am inexperienced in this medium which has contributed to me not appreciating fully Wikipedia's COI concerns. I also changed my user name as well recently as I realized that having my real name in the public arena was not a wise thing to do. --Woonga (talk) 02:46, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Woonga: If you haven't already, please read Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline (click me!) This will explain Wikipedia's expectations for editors with a conflict of interest. I have added a banner to the top of the page so you do not need to declare your COI every time you request an edit. In the future, please request the changes you want to make on the talk page using the request edit template. Instructions on how to use the template are found at Template:Request edit/Instructions. As you can see above, there is a huge backlog for request edits so it may take some time before an editor responds. I will not be assessing the edits today but an editor will look at your changes at a later date. Thanks for declaring your COI and please post at the help desk (click me!) or below if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 15:40, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Z1720: Thank you for drawing my attention to Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. I look forward to an editor looking at the suggested edits when they have the available time. I appreciate there is a backlog and it might take some time for an editor to respond.--Woonga (talk) 01:04, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've just done a general edit, mostly condensing sections where needed, and in general, I think this article is an okay state, and was beforehand, but I have a couple contentions

The Life and education section is entirely uncited. If someone can't find any sources for this information, then it most likely should be removed.

What are the Truscott crisis leaders, why did he found them, and what do they do? I'm also not sure what a "resilience consultancy" is, and a quick search for a definition didn't get me one, but I came from the military history WikiProject, so maybe someone who knows more about business would be able to help.

Why does the article title call him Jim, but the body of the article calls him James, as well as the ref used from the Australian government? It's probably best to stick to one or the other for the sake of uniformity. Loafiewa (talk) 00:03, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've found some new citations, and edited it the best I could. If no personal life citations can be found, we can clean the statements in the future. In the meantime we can remove the COI banner. Marking this as

Done. Ferkijel (talk) 09:21, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
