Conflict of interest[edit]

I notice that Necoates (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has helped write this article and identifies as the subject. I appreciate that another user created the article, but if other eyes could check to make sure everything is above board, it would help. Sam Blacketer (talk) 23:31, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just now I returned to the article after a long absence and noticed the COI template still was on the page although I recalled having previously noticed this item above and, after looking over the article and agreeing some of the additions did not appear to conform to WP standards, had rolled them back or corrected them. (I also had visited the user Talk page and explained the difficulties, as the edits suggested a pattern of good faith editing with an incomplete understanding of Wikipedia policies such as verifiability and no original research.) So just now I removed the conflict of interest template, since the article now seems to be fixed. This message is simply so that users who arrive later will know corrective work had been done since the issue was raised. Lawikitejana (talk) 21:41, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
