Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Elonian. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Rebecca Todd Peters, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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 COI 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 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. Dom from Paris (talk) 14:50, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Connie Ledoux Book

Please add some further content. WP is not a place to publishmere announcements.

This should include a list of her degrees and then her prior positions, all with date, in chronological order. It should also include a discussion of her research and other professional work, and her publications. DGG ( talk ) 17:28, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Similarly for Thomas S. Henricks, Ann J. Cahill, & Jeffrey Pugh.

and when you list books, please include the publisher and the ISBN. The importance of an academic books depends upon the reputation of the publisher, and the ISBN serves as a link. As for journal articles, we do not include them for peoplein afield where the principal publications are books. As a point of style, titles of books and journal titles go in Italics.

Rather, go directly to: He was chairman of ., .. head of .... don't say well known for, but known, or even better , specialized in , of was active in . That's active in, not highly active in. Most bio articles sound much les promotional without any adjectives. DGG ( talk ) 20:48, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
