Strange edit and potential conflict of interest[edit]

Looking at the history of Frederick M. Dolan, I noticed that you removed the tags for notability and primary sources in December, as your very first edit, claiming in the edit summary to have added independent secondary sources.[1] That was not so; you only removed the tags, and added nothing. May I ask why? If you are aware of any independent secondary sources, please feel free to add them. Also, such an edit raises the question whether you have some connection with the subject of the article. Do you? Bishonen | talk 14:41, 2 June 2018 (UTC).[reply]

The tags were removed because the article does in fact contain secondary sources. I notice that you have been blocked three times. Were these blocks for unconstructive changes or vandalism? I have no connection with the subject of the article. FustelDeCoulanges (talk) 15:25, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the tags because they are misleading. The article does contain secondary sources (book reviews) that are not mere mentions. FustelDeCoulanges (talk) 15:35, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
