Comments and Suggestions

First, I suggest that if you made a protected edit request a few months ago, and have a new request, do not edit the old request but make a new request. Just editing the old request may not be noticed, or it may confuse volunteers. I am not sure that either User:Nightenbelle or User:Doug Weller understood what you were doing. Second, you don't have a conflict of interest that I can see. If you do have one, you haven't declared it. You may have been making a Protected Edit Request because the page was semi-protected and you did not yet have ten edits. You now have ten edits. So discuss on the article talk page, without using Protected Edit Request. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:25, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: thanks. The possible coi is the description on this editor's userpage: " Co-facilitator of #ADOSLouisville. #ADOS Ambassador." Doug Weller talk 16:48, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

I just saw your DRN, which I think is too soon. I told the editor who closed it that you aren't banned from editing although if you do have a COI you might be discouraged from it (as I said, read WP:COI. Doug Weller talk 17:18, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

There is a conflict of interest. That has now been established, and I think it has been properly declared. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:52, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
