Question about changes

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

1. I had suggested a minor update to the article, but since I have a conflict of interest, I didn't make any changes to the article itself. Nevertheless, the COI template has been applied to the article. This should probably be removed? I like DNA (talk) 00:18, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The possibility of COI editing involves the edits made by Eastmarin to this article, where they have added a large amount of information which was unreferenced. I have contacted them to inquire about the necessity of making a conflict-of-interest disclosure should that be the case here. The template ought to remain pending their response to that inquiry. Please also note that the {{connected contributor (paid)}} template I placed on this talk page involving I like DNA, which is based on the disclosure you made above, should not be removed from the header material.
