Managing a conflict of interest



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, Kodak03. 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 organizations ↗ for more information. We ask that you:

::Yeah, that's probably best just to avoid any confusion. To be clear, that is not why I declined the draft. To me it really is a matter of if it should be a stand-alone article rather than incorporated into the existing article and glad to see you expanded the existing. It can always be forked ↗ later and as you can see the article needs other improvements as well. You could probably cleanup other sections as well (remove content, consolidate, etc.) if you are interested in doing so. If you are super ambitious, you could try getting it to WP:Good article ↗ status if not eventually a WP:Featured article ↗, which gets featured on the Main page ↗. Either way, thank you for your contributions! You have certainly make Wikipedia better. S0091 (talk) 20:14, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

:I will cherish this forever. Rocfan275 (talk) 23:27, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello



I noticed you had been editing COVID-related articles recently, so I wanted to let you know about Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine ↗. It's a chat page on wiki where a group of editors ↗ hang out and talk about improving medicine-related articles. It's a great place to ask about finding appropriate sources ↗ for biomedical information ↗ or how to write about medical content ↗. If you're interested, please put the page on your watchlist ↗ (or bookmark it on your computer, if that works better for you) and drop by to check it out whenever you feel like it. There's also Wikipedia:WikiProject COVID-19 ↗ if your interests are more specific to COVID content. Thanks for your help with these articles, WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

:Thank you for the invitation. My interest is in coverage of the pandemic itself, not the disease. I will take a look at WikiProject COVID-19. There is much cleanup work left to be done to bring these articles to an acceptable state for a future audience. Rocfan275 (talk) 14:13, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
::I agree. Basically all of the "COVID-19 pandemic in..." articles are in very bad shape. I hope you can make some good progress on them. Thank you for your work. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:21, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

The Pythodd Room ↗



Hi Rocfan275. thanks for your work on the article. You might also be interested in Draft:Clarissa Street ↗ which I split it into two drafts given it was too broad and the creator was more focused on an article about The Pythodd (see also the Pythodd talk page). I removed the content related to the Clarissa/the neighborhood from The Pythodd Room ↗ before accepting it but some it might make sense for Pythodd or vice versa, some content in the Pythodd make more sense for Clarissa Street. S0091 (talk) 18:47, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

:I think a full article on the Clarissa Street neighborhood is feasible for Wikipedia. However, there might be a problem with the title of the draft. The neighborhood has gone through multiple names, originally being called the Third Ward after the city council district it was located in. Today the area is more widely regarded as part of the Corn Hill neighborhood, a name popularized by the annual Corn Hill arts festival. I have written a blurb about his neighborhood at Rochester, New York#Geography ↗. I am taking a short break from editing but will give this more attention upon my return.

Help with CAD page (Shapr3D)



Hi, I came across your profile from the edit history of the CAD page. I would like to create a page for Shapr3D, an increasingly popular Parasolid based CAD software. I have ties to the company, so I would love an objective outsider to help review the effort. I put together a draft which I feel retains a neutral tone, and references multiple industry sources on notability. Would you be open to taking a look and giving feedback? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Shapr3D Thanks. Sebcachia (talk) 08:02, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

:I am not experienced with reviews of drafts but I would concur with the review by AXONOV. Your sources from Siemens and Apple are not independent of the subject and not useful for establishing notability as reliable sources. The academic article used as a source only makes a passing mention of the software and the Forbes articles are about the company, not the software. That leaves engineering.com, which also appears to be closely tied to industry with its sponsorships, although other editors might accept it. I am not familiar with their record. Rocfan275 (talk) 12:41, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks for taking a look, I added a few more sources, and will keep looking for more. Sebcachia (talk) 10:34, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
