Possible COI

Hi. I noticed that you seem to have a particular interest in the article about Gina R. Poe. Specifically, you appear to have an urgent need to have the template on the page removed. As you know, any COI should be disclosed on your talk page. For reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest ColdDeepLake (talk) 18:07, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ColdDeepLake, thank you for the notification. There is no COI in this case and I am in no way connected with the subject of the article. --Johnnie Bob (talk) 23:03, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Milhist!

Hello Johnnie Bob and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, and article logistics.
We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
We've developed a set of guidelines that cover article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts.
If you would like to receive the project's monthly newsletter, The Bugle, please sign up here.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you.

My recent edits to the page of Utah Gov. J. Bracken Lee

Dear Johnnie, I noticed that you've undone my recent edits to the Gov. J. Bracken Lee page regarding his English ancestral background. I understand that Wikipedia is not a directory and that genealogical information should only be added when it is of valuable information. However, references to the ethnicity of Americans, especially politicians, is quite commonly found on Wikipedia. I think you'd agree that for example an article about JFK would be incomplete without a reference to the fact that all of his grandparents were Irish. Also I find the source, apparently itself a Wiki project, reliable enough - it relies on the US Census and the FamilySearch website. (Also family trees are not known for changing in the course of time or being subject to widespread dispute). If you couldn't use them most genealogical information would be lost for Wikipedia. Also other sources on the Internet, geni.com for instance, show matching data. As you might have noticed this is my first day on Wikipedia (and to be honest missing ancestral info was my only reason to join in the first place), so maybe I'm wrong but I'd very much like to hear your standpoint.

None of my edits there were unexplained and your revert of them is in violation of WP:BURDEN. If you expect warning notices to be taken seriously, you need to make sure they are valid and at a minimum, sign them. 65.129.39.34 (talk) 20:40, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
