What connection?

edit

Max Kelly died in 2007. So what is the problematic "personal or professional connection" that, in a banner, a senior editor asserts I may have with Kelly? In this case, I think clarity on what is rather officially considered problematic would be of value. Thank you. KHarbaugh (talk) 11:27, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

@KHarbaugh: The message on your talk page is a request for you to review WP:COI if you have a conflict of interest with Max Kelly or Ross Street in any way. I am not asserting that you have a conflict of interest, but it appears very plausible from an external perspective given your editing behavior in focusing largely on those two biographies for 6 years and adding an extraordinary level of detail (more than even a typical mathematical collaborator would have) on their work.
A conflict of interest is not problematic, but there are strong guidelines on how to deal with a conflict of interest on Wikipedia. If you can disclose your relationship with either person (see WP:DISCLOSE for how), that would make handling the potential conflicts of interest easier. — MarkH21talk 13:31, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Also worth noting: it is extraordinarily rare for an academic biography on Wikipedia to list more than a handful of papers, carefully chosen to be the most significant of the subject's career. Wikipedia is not a platform for hosting CVs. XOR'easter (talk) 20:44, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
