[edit]

Hi, I'm BlackcurrantTea. I saw your post regarding Lord Myners here. That's actually the talk page about the conflict of interest noticeboard; you want the noticeboard itself. It's simple to fix:

  • Go back to the talk page and click on the tab that says history.
  • Find the line with your edit; if it's not the most recent, someone may have already copied it to the other page and removed it from the talk page for you. (That might be quicker, but I prefer to explain how you can do it yourself since I have a spare moment.) At the end of the line, there's an "undo" link. Click it, and you'll be taken to an edit page.
  • Look through it to make sure you're undoing what you mean to undo, add an edit summary ("oops, wrong page" or anything like that is fine), and save it.

Then you can go back to the noticeboard and post it there. As for the next step, you can post on the article's talk page to request edits and discuss possible changes.

Thank you for being open about your potential conflict of interest. You may find the plain and simple COI guide helpful. If you have general questions, the Teahouse is a good place to ask. I hope you enjoy your time here. There are many different ways to participate, and always something new to learn. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 12:38, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]


You're quite right - thanks so much!

...and now Bri closed your post saying the COI noticeboard isn't the place for it. News to me, as I've worked with at least two other people who introduced themselves there and asked for help. Well, no harm done. Sorry for the confusion.

Since that's out, the article's talk page is the best place to ask for someone to help you with edits. There are instructions on how to go about that here (not an RfC, as that's for requesting comments). Alas, there is that backlog. Please be patient with us. Thanks.
