Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Frederick S. Jaffe with this edit, without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 03:18, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation on my talk page. Since your edit was in good faith, I am deleting my original message. However, your further edit still does not have an explanation so someone else may challenge it. A change in content, especially a deletion when a source is cited, should be explained in the edit summary. If necessary due to space limitations, a reference to a further explanation on the talk page may be mentioned as well. See Help:Introduction to talk pages, Help:Using talk pages and Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. You also may find the following pages have useful information about Wikipedia: Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Help:Footnotes, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Getting started; Introduction to Wikipedia; Wikipedia:Simplified ruleset; and Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style. Help:Contents provides guidance and links to pages were help can be requested. Another place to make comments or seek help is Wikipedia:Teahouse. Donner60 (talk) 03:53, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In view of a reasonable comment from the IP user with whom you are apparently in disagreement, I have acknowledged that he has a point. I am concerned that I may no longer be considered a neutral editor. I am not an administrator and can not resolve an ongoing issue of this type. So I will not edit the article further and will leave it for others who are knowledgeable and, more importantly, able to approach the matter fresh and with a neutral point of view.

The page Wikipedia:Dispute resolution suggests steps to resolve conflicts. You will see that the second section is "Resolving content disputes with outside help", which in turn links to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution requests. I think those pages answer your question.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, DaveJaffe. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Frederick S. Jaffe, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Keri (talk) 16:14, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keri, I have never tried to hide the fact that Frederick S. Jaffe was my father. The article went through rigorous fact checking/documentation of primary sources by Wikipedia editors when I submitted it in 2013. I am simply asking for the same level of scrutiny be applied to additional material added to it. DaveJaffe (talk)
