I noticed your messages left on several editors of this article. At least one of them hasn't edited for over five years: she is unlikely to see your note. You seem really bothered by the tone of the article. I would suggest that you simply repair it yourself, rather than leaving COI templates all over the place. Joyous!

fair point about the old editors. As for the COI templates, I’m usin’ them as markers while I dig into things—there’s a bigger story here, I reckon. But ye’re right, no sense waitin’ around. I’ll roll up my sleeves an’ start fixin’ the tone myself after research is done. Maklermak (talk) 18:04, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Please stop dropping COI templates everywhere. Be aware that your actions look odd. You have a brand-new account but you are wielding templates like a seasoned user, which does make me wonder if you have edited here before under a different name? Joyous! Noise! 18:29, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I understand how it might look, me droppin' COI templates here an' there with a new account, but I assure ye, this is my first go at it on Wikipedia. I've spent a good bit of time readin' up on how things work around here, which is why I’m keen on followin' the rules, especially when it comes to conflicts of interest.
As for the templates, I’m usin' them like a map, guidin' me through the areas that need a closer look while I gather more information. I'm not here to cause trouble or stir suspicion—just tryin' to do me part in sortin' out what seems like a bit of a mess. Maklermak (talk) 18:55, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
