You have failed to heed the requests by previous reviewers to declare your COI/PAID status on your user page. The nature of your relationship to the subject matters, since COI editing is controlled by existing policy, and undisclosed paid editing is against the Wikipedia Terms of Use.
You have still not complied with citation style request made by the previous reviewer. The way you're using citation templates is not correct, and this leads me to believe that you have not made an attempt to understand what Wikipedia is, and more importantly, what Wikipedia is not.
By refusing to engage with the Wikipedia community, you are making it clear that you do not understand the community nature of Wikipedia, and you do not respect the volunteer editors' time and effort. This is not a business, we are not required to accept your changes or improve the page, and I would suggest that if you hope to have these changes implemented that you first familiarise yourself with Wikipedia, its community, and its editorial policy and guidance.
If you're having trouble with understanding or complying with our requests, please review Help:Getting started or WP:PLAINSIMPLECOI, reach out to Wikipedia:Help desk, or put {{helpme}} on your talk page and somebody will come around to answer your question. Melmann21:42, 24 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hi Melmann, thank you for your feedback. I have updated the citations to align with the required style and have declared my COI status. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Ldurniakimg (talk) 19:37, 3 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
You used the {{Help me}} template, but you wanted an answer from a specific editor. If you still need help, please add your question to that editor's talk page instead, or reply to them here using the {{Reply to}} template. Alternatively, you can ask your question at the Teahouse, the help desk, or join Wikipedia's Live Help IRC channel to get real-time assistance.
Hi again @Melmann Just following up on the edits my colleague made to Dr Rubin's page. Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help, Talia TpantaleoIMG (talk) 15:23, 15 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
I am not in the position to re-review this again. I have reopened your COI Edit Request. It is now in the COI Edit Request queue, and another reviewer should come along eventually.Melmann12:28, 21 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
