Disambiguation link notification for May 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Black Scholar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William Marshall. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Black Scholar Question (and resources)

Hi @Rootbeerlc! Do you happen to have any connection to the Black Scholar article you’re working on? Also, do you have any connection to the article’s creator, @Chinaski81? For some good resources on writing quality journal articles, you can check out WP:JWG. Have a good day. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 01:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Dr Swag Lord. I am unconnected to the article's creator. I am a professor who has researched the journal. Thank you for the WP:JWG. I have implemented some of its recommendations and have removed the bulk of the details. Can you explain to me the areas where further verification would be beneficial? Rootbeerlc (talk) 03:14, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. You say you’re a a professor who has researched the journal. But do you have any direct connection/affiliation to the journal? Alternatively, do you have any affiliation to the owner of the journal, the Robert Chrisman Foundation? The reason I ask is that Wikipedia has rules when it comes to potential conflicts of interest and I’m trying to ensure you are acquainted with those rules. I can add some notes about how to improve the article on its talk page. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 03:48, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

I am affiliated with the Robert Chrisman Foundation; I receive no salary from it. I understand the concern about conflict of interest, but as a professional academic who has published eight books and over 50 scholarly articles, I do know how to present information in a scholarly and neutral way (unlike whoever it was who created the initial Wikipedia entry). I believe that I have removed the subjective language and unsubstantiated claims of that person's original entry. I plead guilty to having added a lot of descriptive details (of particular contributors, editorial board members, recent issue titles and examples), but have removed the majority of these on learning that Wikipedia views them as 'excessive details'.
