My name is Dan Cook. I am a journalist and contract writer and editor. I have been training individuals to ethically edit Wikipedia while in a Conflict of Interest situation since 2010. In 2020 I began to edit Wikipedia articles for pay on behalf of clients in my role as a consultant at To the Point Collaborative.
My process is to follow the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure rules and to always work with members of the volunteer community when doing this editing for compensation. I welcome any feedback from the volunteer community on how to improve my editing skills. I intend to use the Simple COI Request form to request comment on suggested edits to articles.
I am passionate about Wikipedia's mission and want to make positive contributions to its content. I have thoroughly read and understand Wikipedia's COI editing code and instruct my clients so that they too follow it.
I used to edit under the user name User:DDcook, but that account is no longer active.
I have been a journalist for many years, working as a reporter and editor for such large media organizations as Knight Ridder (Akron Beacon Journal), McGraw Hill (BusinessWeek), American Lawyer Media and Newhouse (Portland Business Journal). I edited an alternative weekly, In Pittsburgh Newsweekly, in the early 1990s. I have served as co-author for three published books and writing coach for a fourth. I currently freelance for various publications and provide communications consulting services to for and nonprofit organizations from my home base in Portland, OR. If you'd like to see an example of my work, please visit Bill Miller (artist). Bill's personal website is located here. I was not paid to do this work. I also started an article on Cleveland journalist Roldo Bartimole. I was not paid to do this work either.
Articles I am paid to edit
Public Interest Research Group is paying me to improve its article. I welcome feedback on my talk page or on the PIRG talk page. DanDavidCook (talk) 03:36, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
