User talk:Mphy-aro
Hello, Mphy-aro. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Stephen Friend, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 09:29, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

[edit]Thank you for explaining your conflict of interest with the article Stephen Friend. However there are still a number of problems with the content you added, so I have again reverted it. In particular, please note:
- The connected contributor template goes on the talk page, not the article, and should not have nowiki tags with it
- First person content is not accepted, e.g. "We are designing studies... " and "I am now intrigued" are not ok in an encyclopaedia
- Content should be written in a neutral and 'formal' tone, so phrasing like "These days he is working on ..." is not ok
- Wikipedia is not a resume so listing things like fraternities and lectures given is not usually notable, and in particular any content like this such as awards need a source provided
It will be much easier if you can suggest changes on the article's talk page as requested above, so that they can be worked through one at a time, making sure they are verifiable by reference to reliable sources and properly formatted. Thank you Melcous (talk) 11:53, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

[edit]I have again reverted your edit, because it has all the same problems as above. Please propose changes on the article's talk page, which is also the proper place to declare your conflict of interest rather than editing the article directly. Melcous (talk) 10:37, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Could you please specify some examples that are still not ok. I tried to change according to the previous instructions.
