[edit]

Hello, LTBL44, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was David Julius, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Information icon Hello, LTBL44. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to sources you may be affiliated with.

Editing in this way is a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM); the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

If you wish to continue contributing, please first consider citing other reliable secondary sources such as review articles that were written by other researchers in your field and that are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite sources for which you may have a conflict of interest, please start a new section on the article's talk page and add {{Edit COI}} to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added. :Jay8g [V•T•E] 02:42, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jay8g. Thank you for the recommendations. As an academic scientist I have extensive subject expertise in David Julius' work and in research topics in related areas of pharmacology and physiology. The additions I made represent essential contributions and are backed by scientific references, some cited hundreds or even thousands of times in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. In the future, I will ask for proofreading as suggested. I am not sure I understand the concerns about my username. It is not affiliated with any corporation and only used by one person. I'll probably request a change, however, I feel that any username that is not a real name would be suspicious under these definitions. Thanks again. LTBL44 (talk) 03:53, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
