Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, JDtoBee. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:David Gamage, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• 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.

Hi JDtoBee, if you have a COI you need to declare it. While this is still in draft, you are welcome to continue improve it. S0091 (talk) 20:19, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

I do not have any conflicts of interest. I am a student in the field of tax law and have some general interest in the creation and maintenance of quality articles on tax law, but that is not a conflict of interest. I do not understand why I am being accused of having a conflict of interest. JDtoBee (talk) 20:21, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks JDtoBee. Just to be clear, you do not personally know David Gamage or have an affiliation with him? S0091 (talk) 20:27, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Never met him. I have no affiliation with him. I was assigned one of his articles to read in one of my classes, by another professor, at a different law school, but this is not a conflict of interest. JDtoBee (talk) 20:30, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

I agree what you describe is not a COI so will post a note to that effect on the draft's talk page. S0091 (talk) 20:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! If you could please also review the article and let me know if you think the tone or style is inappropriate and how I could fix that, I would appreciate it. I am trying to learn how to edit here and would like guidance. Just having my editing work being declared wrong without any answers to my questions about specifics is very discouraging.

Given I am the reviewer who accepted the draft and my acceptance has been challenged I will leave it to another reviewer. Please understand this is somewhat normal (see WP:BRD). I do not take the concerns expressed by Netherzone personally or lightly, nor should you. They are an experienced editor who has been an active since 2012 with over 45k edits and has created/improved many articles and drafts. Hopefully the concerns can be addressed and the article accepted (again). S0091 (talk) 20:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks. JDtoBee (talk) 21:01, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

I understand why you do not want to review or advise further on this, but for you to then object to my then turning to ask another editor who had previously reviewed and communicated with me about the draft for advice seems counterproductive to mentoring new editors.
