Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

November 2024

Hello Bo2pup. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Daniel W. Nebert, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Bo2pup. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Bo2pup|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 23:00, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Greetings @Russ Woodroofe, hopefully you are doing well. Firstly, I don't have any conflict of interest (COI) with Daniel W. Nebert's page. Secondly, you have removed my edits which I believe to be in accordance to Wikipedia norms and policies, as far as I know. Kindly refer to the following, and guide me if I am wrong:

1) Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics)#Selected publication section in professor articles

2)User:StarryGrandma/Writing an article about a professor or researcher#Step 1. Start the article (For article's structure)

Thirdly, I am citing the following pages as a reference to creating a "Selected Publication Section"

David A. Hafler

Rae Langton

John Swinton (theologian)

Catherine L. Besteman#

Fourthly, I used Google Scholar as a reference to the selected publication, as mentioned above, it is not necessary to cite any reference to publication, as by definition, "Selected Publication Section" is comprise of most cited publication.

Lastly, you also reverted my edits last Saturday (according to the country I live in)... as far as I know, "National library of Medicine", "NIEHS News", and "Research.com" are independent platforms. However, you removed them under "rm repeated ref; rm self-published memoirs with no apparent reviews", Kindly explain.

P.S. I do understand that I am new here and have a lot to learn, I also, understand that my understanding of the policies are not as strong as yours, as you are more senior than me.

Thank you. Bo2pup (talk) 01:02, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for slow response -- real life interfered. The article could support a "Selected publications" section. My main concern is that the section you added was overlong, with no clear selection criterion. About 3 articles, with a selection criterion could be appropriate. The award section should contain only career highlight awards. It was significantly trimmed (with good reason) when the article was at AfD. It is possible that it could be expanded slightly, but I think you should open a talk page discussion before doing so. I am doubtful about several of the awards you added. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:56, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

No worries, I understand. Well, my selection criteria was the same as mentioned in Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics)#Selected publication section in professor articles. I used the most cited articles first then decending order from there. This is why I also cited Google scholar, as there is the number of citation given. So, if there is no issue with Publication section, can I restore it?

As for the awards' section, I will open a discussion on the talk page. I do understand that I am new here, and my understanding of the policies would not be as good as someone experienced like you.

I apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you.

P.S. I will restore the publication section in few hours, and will mention this discussion on the talk page. Bo2pup (talk) 20:31, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Can you tell me how you stumbled upon the Nebert article? Russ Woodroofe (talk) 17:36, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
