Question

Out of curiousity, is the name "IndependentFred" any relation to the author of the source you just cited, who calls themselves "Independent Scientist Frederick"? Kimen8 (talk) 15:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear Kimen8,

There might be a link between the two. Let's say they collaborated to provide an extra speck of wisdom on Wikipedia.

Best regards,

Hello, IndependentFred. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. I'm going to revert your change for now. Kimen8 (talk) 20:10, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for guidance, Kimen8.

However, in no way IndependentFred will receive any compensation for this contribution. I fixed the missing link to PhytoChem & BioSub Journal.

Best regards and with much respect for the work you bring to making knowledge accessible,
