COI
editEditor Dick Clark (talk · contribs) seems to be adding WP:vanity stuff in violation of WP:COI to this article. I also note the additions of a new editor 9 ACRE (talk · contribs) who appeared and made some very specific edits. --Triwbe (talk) 22:17, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
I have been following this article and making edits on it, is there something wrong with some text I used, I am unclear but what is meant by "specific edits"? 9 ACRE (talk) 23:44, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Dear 9 ACRE, You are a new user who has made only a few edits to architecture articles, over half of them to this article, and you arrived within minutes of another editor being informed about the conflict of interest conditions. Wikipedia has a strict policy about one person using multiple accounts or asking others to edit for them. Yes I am aware that it can be a coincidence, so please do not be offended and understand, 9 ACRE, that all your edits have been valid, useful and welcome (valid references that you have added are the concrete that makes WP articles stronger) and that I am showing good faith and have not taken any other action. I just hope you do not also have a WP:COI with this article. --Triwbe (talk) 07:11, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Fair enough - thanks for responding. 9 ACRE (talk) 15:02, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Im Sorry I am confused - should I stop editing? Dick Clark (talk) 23:53, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- WP:COI would suggest yes, stop, but WP:BOLD says keep on editing and Wikipedia:Ignore all rules says do what you want. Is that any clearer? :-)
- In the end Wikipedia:Use common sense should prevail and that would suggest that if you make any edits and no one removes them, then it has been accepted. So as WP:COI says, you can edit but be careful to be WP:NPOV and supply reliable sources. --Triwbe (talk) 07:52, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Much clearer - ha ha - I assume none of the text that is up there is against any Wikipedia rule so can I remove the COI tag? Should I just be WP:BOLD and remove it myself? Thanks for your insights, just trying to figure out the system. Dick Clark (talk) 17:54, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, you are exactly right, you may remove it. It all comes down to WP:consensus, but maybe you should also read this article to see what you've got yourself into :-) --Triwbe (talk) 19:47, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
notability?
editNo disrespect to the firm, but does Dick Clark Architecture really meet notability guidelines? They are well-respected in Austin architecture circles, but I'm not sure the reputation extends far enough outside Texas to warrant inclusion on WP. Opinions?

Merger proposal
editI propose merging Dick Clark (architect) into Dick Clark + Associates. I think the content in the architect's page can easily be explained in the context of the firm's, and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems here. ThoughtsStar Mississippi 20:30, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 23:02, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
