Interest of author of large revision

I am a member of the West Newbury Historical Commission and researched John Appleton Brown in that capacity. An informal 1-page story about him, much like this Wikipedia entry, will appear later this year on the Town website. Riverbend Trail (talk) 12:07, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would not consider that a conflict of interest, but I also recommend not citing the town website as a reference. David notMD (talk) 19:00, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks & thanks for your edits, David notMD. I will not be citing the website, but will include in the Town story a notice that it is based on a Wikipedia article by the same author. I have also been advised to place a backwards copy notice on the talk page for such articles & will do so as the Town articles go live. Riverbend Trail (talk) 20:19, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
