Hello, JezGrove. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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:
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 11:46, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Just for the record, I have never been paid or requested to create or edit any page on Wikipedia and none of my edits have been on pages related to myself, my family, or my "friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors". Indeed, just last month I added comments to two related talk pages mentioning a recently published book that I thought might be a useful source for them, and declared my COI. (See [here] and [here].)
I have never personally met or spoken to anyone whose article I have edited with the exceptions of: 1) Former NASA astronaut Kathryn D. Sullivan, who I met for about 90 seconds in March this year after her talk at the Royal Institution, when she signed a book for my space-obsessed daughter and allowed me to take a photo of them both. You can find my edits to the page here. 2) Former Teletubby (!) Nikky Smedley, who I have very occasionally met socially although not for many years. When I first saw the WP article about her (about five years ago), some of the language struck me as a little self-promotional and I flagged this up, together with my COI, to User:Martinevans123. Since then, I have added an external link (to the British Film Institute), replaced a ‘citation needed’ with a reference (one of only three in the entire article), and reverted some unexplained deletions. My edits are here.
I am a subscriber to Jerry Coyne's website Why Evolution is True and frequently comment below the line. These interactions are with other readers of the website and not directly with its author, and generally involve me making stupid jokes or adding links to topics under discussion. Like many regular readers of Coyne’s website, I have emailed him with links to stories about science, cats (!), or current events that may be interest for inclusion in his posts, and have submitted photos for his 'Photos of Readers' feature. The friend who introduced me to the website, Dom, is one of many people thanked in the Acknowledgments section of one of Coyne's books – something I only discovered when I read the book myself, as Dom had never mentioned the fact to me. I don’t know how many times the two of them have met, but Coyne is aware that Dom and I know each other and asked after Dom’s health during the first UK lockdown when he hadn’t heard from him for a while. My edits to Coyne’s article are here.
I recently created the article about Matthew Cobb. Like many of the Wikipedia articles I have created, I went to add a detail to a page only to find it didn’t exist and eventually got around to putting that right. I have never met, spoken to, emailed, or had any other correspondence with him. From Jerry Coyne’s website, I am aware that he and Cobb are friends; my friend Dom has also met Cobb although, again, I have no idea of the details. (Dom has a keen amateur interest in science and attends a lot of lectures and the subsequent book signings – indeed, he was there when I and my daughter met Kathy D. Sullivan!)
I have exchanged emails with the author Linda Grant – on both occasions (two years apart) it was related to the fact that I had gone to her publisher’s website to find information for Wikipedia about her latest book only to find that the website was years out of date. My edits to the article are here.
I hope that has clarified everything. JezGrove (talk) 18:11, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
On 20 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Matthew Cobb, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Matthew Cobb, winner of the 2021 JBS Haldane Lecture, started his academic career by getting twins drunk? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Matthew Cobb. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Matthew Cobb), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
I realize this is in response to something from a few years ago, but the Strickland deletion had nothing to do with notability. As the notice on SteplightJohnson's talkpage makes quite explicit: the deletion was because SteplightJohnson had copied-and-pasted the content of Strickland's entry on the Optical Society's official website, verbatim. This was a flagrant breach of our policies on copyright.
The notice further told SJ how to properly contest the deletion, a path SJ chose to not pursue. DS (talk) 20:46, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

This edit could only appear to be relevant if editors were to perform a kind of original research (deciding among ourselves what is or isn't transphobic) that we are not supposed to do. We are only allowed to decide what to say about a topic based on sources on that topic (in this case, the Alliance). An invitation to have that other discusson, such as you have twice tried to insert on the article Talk page, is pure WP:FORUM. Newimpartial (talk) 00:03, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
on reflection I believe that you are rightis perhaps the most precious phrase one can ever hear on WP. Newimpartial (talk) 20:37, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
