Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Ocean Louis. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Louis Legendre (oceanographer), 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:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• 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 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. Theroadislong (talk) 17:01, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

• In the Section "Academic career", please add "from 2001 to 2010" after "was director of the Villefranche Oceanography Laboratory" • I am the person described in the Wikipedia article, and I am thus in conflict of interest. However, the article dates several years back, and many events occurred in my career since the article was written. One of them is the period of my tenure as director of the Villefranche Oceanography Laboratory. • References supporting the change: https://www.eurasc.org/user/394/louis-legendre; https://www.ae-info.org/ae/Member/Legendre_Louis Ocean Louis (talk) 14:18, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

• In the Section "Academic career", please replace "He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a Knight of the Order of Saint-Charles." by "He is an elected member of four academies of sciences (Royal Society of Canada, European Academy of Sciences, Academia Europaea, and Chinese Academy of Sciences), an Honorary Doctor of the University of Liège, Belgium, and a Knight of the Order of Saint-Charles, Principality of Monaco." • I am the person described in the Wikipedia article, and I am thus in conflict of interest. However, the article dates several years back, and many events occurred in my career since the article was written. When the article was written, I was a member (fellow) of the Royal Society of Canada; since then, I have been elected to three other academies of sciences. Two other special distinctions are my honoraru doctorate from the University of Liège and my knighthood of Saint-Charles. • References supporting the change: https://rsc-src.ca/en/find-rsc-member/results?combine=&first_name=louis&last_name=legendre&current_employer=&academy_25=All&is_deceased=All; http://english.casad.cas.cn/mem/fm/; https://www.eurasc.org/user/394/louis-legendre; https://www.ae-info.org/ae/Member/Legendre_Louis Ocean Louis (talk) 14:36, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

• In the Section "Select awards and honours", please replace the present text by:

"Legendre has received many awards and honours, which include: • 2020 - Albert 1st Medal, Oceanographic Institute, Foundation Albert 1st Prince of Monaco . 2004 - Highly Cited Researcher, Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) • 2002 - G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award, American Society of Limnology and Oceanography • 2001 - International Ecology Institute Prize, Germany . 1997 - Québec Science Prize, Pure and Applied Sciences (Marie-Victorin Prize)"

• I am the person described in the Wikipedia article, and I am thus in conflict of interest. However, the article dates several years back, and many events occurred in my career since the article was written. The last honour/distinction presently cited in the article goes back to 2002, and the requested edit updates the text to the present. There is no need to repeat in the Section "Select awards and honours" those honours already cited in the section "Academic career" (see other request edit).

• In the Section "Selected publications", please add my other books:

"• Earth, Our Living Planet - The Earth System and its Co-evolution With Organisms (2021) • Scientific Research and Discovery - Process, Consequences and Practice (2008) • Scientific Research and Discovery - Process, Consequences and Practice (2004)"

• I am the person described in the Wikipedia article, and I am thus in conflict of interest. However, the article dates several years back, and many events occurred in my career since the article was written. Adding my other books to the section "Selected publications" would update the article.

Hi Ocean Louis, I don't know which article these edits are for because the requests were made in the wrong place. Please move your request to the talk page of the article you want to edit. Also, only one edit request template is required per request, not four. Please go to the WP:HELPDESK or WP:TEAHOUSE if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 15:28, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
