Hello, I'm Winkelvi. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to User talk:David Eppstein. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 19:44, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for your help Winkelvi. FYI -I have re-registered as Mbark2 and posted my comments and proposed edits on the 'talk' page of Friends of Science, also identifying my position and that I have a COI. I will not use this account once I have also thanked David (unless to follow up if other msgs). Cheers! Mbark2 FriendofScientificMethod (talk) 16:12, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
