Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Mbonnan. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Matthew Bonnan, 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. I have noted you have declared you are the subject in some of the edit summaries at least. Kj cheetham (talk) 14:17, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there - I'm never sure what to do with this page. I am the subject of it and it was set up by someone else. When it originally came to my attention, there were factual errors and some humorous material that I corrected for accuracy. Every once in a while I update the page to reflect changes in my position or in what is going on with my research and outreach project. I do have my own webpage that I keep up to date with relevant research and project information. I am happy to let anyone configure this page so that it meets Wikipedia's standards. I am a paleontologist and so if this information is helpful to others regarding paleontology, that is fine by me. Anyways, any advice or help is appreciated.
