Conflict of interest in editing an article about your father, and your own work

Hello, Steve Hodel. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page George Hodel, 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. [End boilerplate.] This is an article you should almost certainly not be directly editing, since you have a fiduciary interest in what it says and how often (and in what tones) is mentions you and your books. Your recent block of changes even confuses what your hypothesis is with what a coroner's report states. I have not deleted it wholesale, but cleaned it up some, and flagged it as needed specific source citations. Henceforth, I would strongly recommend proposing changes on the article talk page. You're simply too close to this subject to edit the text with neutrality, encyclopedic tone, etc. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 04:41, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to George Hodel, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Also, did you see the notice SMcCandlish left for you? –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 04:15, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
