Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Biologist87657. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Gerbil, 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. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with 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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:00, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Eggishorn, if you will not remove my post, then can you at least remove my real name from your talk page and use my new username? Thanks.

I refer you to this Wikipedia page:

Deletion of user talk pages

WP:UP#DELTALK WP:DELTALK User talk pages and user talk archives created by page move are generally not deleted; they are usually needed for reference by other users. Individual revisions, log entries, and other user space material may be deleted or redacted for privacy reasons, or because of harassment, threats, gross offensiveness and other serious violations. Exceptions to this can be and are made on occasion for good reason. In addition, nonpublic personal information and potentially libelous information posted to your talk page may be removed as described above.

I need you to remove my real name for privacy reasonsBiologist87657 (talk) 18:23, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Biologist87657

Because of the way I linked your name, when your username changed, all the links did as well. This includes the references I used to your prior name. If one still appears to be visible, please ping me and I will happily change it. You can do this by typing "{{ping|Eggishorn}}" (without the quotes but including the curly brace characters) in your reply message to ensure I see it. I hope this addresses your concerns.

Thank you Eggishorn for all your help.
