Dan Pickett Wikipedia Page
Hi -
I am a real rookie when it comes to Wikipedia (I joined one year ago). You left me information on my "talk" page regarding a "conflict of interest" & "neutral point of view" in editing Dan Pickett's wikipedia page. While I know Dan, I am not paid to update this page. I have had relevant information related to Dan that I have edited on the page - I have never added anything that has not had a related citation. Based on everything that I have read, I am asking for help in removing that tag. You mentioned helping me by running a draft of my revised article before submission for proofreading to avoid having something deleted. I don't see where my contributions have been deleted - as I mentioned - I have only added information that has a clear citation.
I guess I am asking your help with how to remove the "neutral point of view" tag on the page. Should I send you a list of all of the updates that I made so that you can independently verify them? I am at a complete loss on what to do.
Thank you for your help.

- Hi Abharlow. The fact you know Dan Pickett is not such a big deal, but that fact that you've stated you're editing (or you've edited) the page on his behalf kind of is and is what Wikipedia would consider to be a conflict of interest, regardless of whether you're being paid or compensated to do so. So, moving forward, my suggestion to you would be to follow WP:COIADVICE and WP:PSCOI#Steps for engagement and refrain from directly editing the article, except to make minor changes. (See WP:MINOR for more details on what Wikipedia considers to be a "minor" change because some of your edits that you've marked as minor wouldn't meet that definition). Instead of directly editing the article yourself, you should post edit requests on Talk:Dan Pickett and seek assistance from others. I would also suggest that you read WP:DECLARECOI as well as WP:OWN and WP:BLPSELF for additional reference; declaring or clarifying your connection to Pickett will make it easy for others to help you, and the other three pages contain information that both you and Dan Pickett may find helpful.As for the current state of the article, I will ask some others to take a look at it; if they feel that the {{COI}} template I added to the article is no longer an issue, they will remove it. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:01, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- I've started a thread about this as WP:COIN#Dan Pickett; if you've got any questions about conflict-of-interest editing, etc. feel free to ask them there. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:18, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi there,
Appreciate your note on my page! If you wouldn't mind, could you provide a little more information for me? I did not disclose that I had been in contact with management before all of my edits were reverted, so I'm still not sure why that happened. Is there a reason for that?
Also, I'm not being paid my Yebba's management, and I did source all of the information from independent sources as shown by the references I put in. You mentioned that there may be a path forward for my changes to be accepted if someone reviewed them? How would I go about doing that?
Thank you so much for your help!

I nominated the article amBX for deletion. You have had some involvement so may be interested. --- Otr500 (talk) 15:20, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know, but my involvement was limited to the discussion about the article at WP:REFUND#AmBX. A suggestion was made to WP:DRAFTIFY the article as an alternative to deletion, but I've got no real preference either way. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:15, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
The article IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-notable sub-group of notable organisation
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Fayenatic London 14:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the notification; however, my only edits to the article were primarily just to cleanup a few things back in 2015, and I wasn’t really a major content contributor. — Marchjuly (talk) 20:43, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
