Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Kzolatova. 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:

• 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 conflict of interest 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 which forms all or part of work 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. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:00, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Cordless Larry. Thank you for your message. I am not being paid to update Dr. Nielsen's Wikipedia page, but I do know her. I simply came across it through a google search and saw that it needed additional secondary sources so that the tag at the top would be removed. I thought that by adding the additional secondary sources (peer-reviewed academic journal articles mentioning and interacting with Dr. Nielsen's work) I was justified in removing the tag at the top of the page. Were my citations not sufficient? Thanks again for your help Kzolatova (talk) 16:23, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

That's fine, although you should be careful not to add anything to the article that might be perceived as promotional, given that you know her. The need for more secondary sources remains, so if you know of any more, please do add them or suggest them on the article's talk page. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:13, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Cordless Larry. I thought that the ones that I did provide were sufficient (e.g. the books by Rabaka which significantly discuss Nielsen's work (see references 4 & 5 on Nielsen's page) and the book by Andrew Fuyarchuk (ref. 2 on Nielsen's page). Whoever created the page (I assume) already listed two book reviews of her work published in peer-review academic journals (see refs. 6 & 7 on Nielsen's page). I simply divided the references into two separate references for clarity's sake. If you look at the history on her page, you can see that someone else originally inserted those book reviews. If you can help me to know how many more references are needed and whether the ones I mention above are suitable for verification, I would greatly appreciate it and would be happy to search for more of this type. I have compared Nielsen's page with other similar pages and it seems that the secondary sources on her page are sufficient for verification; thus, your input and clarifying remarks would be helpful. Thanks again. Kzolatova (talk) 21:31, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Just two very quick points in reply: first, the early life and education section doesn't cite any sources; second, the article states that "her work has been appropriated by scholars in multiple disciplines", but I'm unsure whether the sources cited argue that her work has been appropriated, or whether they are being cited as examples of such appropriation. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:07, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

I found a public record through the University of North Flordia verifying Nielsen's graduation and added it. Regarding the second question, the sources cited are examples of scholars in diverse fields (#13--cricial race theory, #14--literay theory, #15--ethnomusicology) who have appropriated Nielsen's work and who cite her in their work.Kzolatova (talk) 23:39, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

The problem with the latter is that it likely falls foul of Wikipedia's policy on original research. We can only really say something about how her work has been used if we have a secondary source that makes that argument. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:24, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

I have now added an explicit quotation from a review of Nielsen's work. The reviewer argues that her work is a "significant contribution to interdisciplinary studies" etc. I have also relocated some of the citations to more appropriate places. Given the work that I have done in light of your helpful suggestions, I am requesting that you remove the tag at the top of the page, as I believe that the claims on her page have been properly supported by secondary sources. Thank you. Kzolatova (talk) 16:33, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

That's a good quote - thanks for finding it and adding it. The tag will need to stay in place, though, until everything in the early life and education section has either been sourced or removed. Primary sources written by Nielsen should be fine for the basic facts here, if secondary sources aren't available. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:42, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

All content under Early Life Education that is not cited has been deleted. Would you kindly delete the tag, as I believe that I have complied with Wikipedia's policies and your suggestions? Thank you. Kzolatova (talk) 17:20, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Done. Thanks for your co-operation. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:51, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
