This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Hello, I'm AntiCompositeNumber. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Daniel P. Franklin. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Dpfranklin. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Daniel P. Franklin, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 20:57, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

• Professor Franklin, you can usefully come to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel P. Franklin and on that page list major reviews of your books, significant work by other scholars that encounter you work at some length, and published profiles/bios of you in reliable publications, these can include local papers, alumni mags, but are useful for sourcing details like the place where you grew up. Plain facts like where you got your degrees, jobs you have held can be sourced to your faculty page, even by you, after your bio page is "kept" at articles for deletion.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:43, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
• An invitation, we hope that you will join us. It is terribly useful for scholars to lend a hand here, many do, although for reasons some behavioral sociologist or political scientist really should analyze, this is more frequent among bench scientists than in the humanities and social sciences. Just remember that, except for flagging and removing personal attacks, and adding, correcting, or sourcing matters of plain fact, it is not good form to edit your own page. I truly do hope that you will join us.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:43, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
