Hi. I think I need a bit of a refresher on using the COI tag on an article as I did on Making Tax Digital when I accepted it through AfC. A google search showed that the creator of the article has a connection with the company. I tagged their user talk page accordingly: User_talk:Tomsmccallum1. Is the COI tag not appropriate in a case like that and what should I be writing on the article talk page? I am mindful of not 'outing' the person by providing too much extra info.

Hello Northamerica1000, I've just made a much more complete article on huli-huli chicken in my user space. Right here is a diff of the current article, and right here is the page I've made. Since I saw that you've made many edits in the revision history of huli-huli chicken (albeit in 2013), and created many other pages, I'd appreciate your feedback on what I've made, any edits before I paste it to the mainspace, and other considerations on my process. I know that I still need to look up some page numbers I didn't write down, and I'd like more images. Thank you! --Hameltion (speak, spoken) 03:38, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

As one can see from my !vote there, I did not argue on replying or not, but commented especially to a specific wording ("take care"), easily interpretable as a caveat. In spite of opposing to all the PC-derived crap of urbanity, civility, safety of spaces, ... I still try to adhere to a higher level of sensitivity, more fully de rigeur, than what I perceived from the verbiage of an admin to be. Of course, I never intended to be kidding.
