thread_title: More COI?

message: Some editors of this article have a clear personal or professional connection to the subject of the page, and thus have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting  (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking where it says "click here" on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted. 
Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:02, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Note: I've done my best to limit the damage here by restoring most of the previous text that Jcohensh over-wrote with his/her copyvio screed. Nevertheless, I've swept away a mass of good-faith work by bona-fide editors, and the whole page needs to be rewritten. It is very possible that I've inadvertently removed some good text subsequently added by other people; please feel free to restore if you see that I have done so. My apologies to those whose time and efforts have gone to waste here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:32, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
