== Tim Dawson ==

* {{userlinks|~2026-13786-81}}

At BLP/N the editor {{userlinks|BLPcorrection9274739}} identified himself as [[Tim Dawson]] and asked for specific changes to his Wikipedia bio page. While some of these changes were appropriate, one of them was the removal of material from the article lead that associated him with Brexit. This was problematic because it would be a violation of [[WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY]] - Mr. Dawson is well-known for his pro-Brexit activism and, even if he would prefer that be less emphasized, it does support material which was present in the article. I said as much and watch-listed the article making a single edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tim_Dawson&diff=1341328615&oldid=1341294734] here in the process. Shortly thereafter a temporary account {{userlinks|~2026-13786-81}} began editing the Tim Dawson article with their first edit being the removal of the information from the lead with the edit summary {{tq|Removing abuse and updating credentials in line with Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons}}. I restored it, providing the justification that it was adhering to Leadfollowsbody and then, the same temporary account manually reverted it with the misleading edit summary {{tq|Addition of Dawson's additional work}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tim_Dawson&diff=1341514513&oldid=1341508229]. This temporary account went on to make several other changes to the Dawson article that had a non-neutral tone and introduced a lot of relatively personal but inconsequential biographical information such as Mr. Dawson's love of dogs. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tim_Dawson&diff=1341751683&oldid=1341514552]. I suspect [[WP:LOUT]].  I have notified both accounts.

== Richie Sanders -- undisclosed COI with GoFlightMedicine.com (commercial HIMS AME medical practice) ==

* {{pagelinks|Human Intervention Motivation Study}}
* {{pagelinks|Aviation medical examiner}}
* {{userlinks|Richie Sanders}}

[[User:Richie Sanders]] has 26 total edits since account creation in July 2014. The account's editing pattern consists almost entirely of adding citations and content linking to goflightmedicine.com, a commercial aviation medical practice operated by Dr. Rocky Jedick that offers HIMS Aviation Medical Examiner services.

A [[Special:LinkSearch/goflightmedicine.com|LinkSearch for goflightmedicine.com]] returns 18 results across Wikipedia. The following articles edited by this account currently contain or previously contained goflightmedicine.com citations: [[G-force]], [[G-LOC]], [[Tarnak Farm incident]], [[Flight surgeon]], [[Patient safety]], [[Tenerife airport disaster]], [[Aviation medicine]], [[Airborne collision avoidance system]], [[Spatial disorientation]], [[Sensory illusions in aviation]], [[1999 Martha's Vineyard plane crash]], and [[Aviation medical examiner]].

On 27 February 2026, the account edited [[Human Intervention Motivation Study]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Human_Intervention_Motivation_Study&diff=prev&oldid=1340785542 diff]) to add a goflightmedicine.com citation and content not supported by the cited page. The account also added goflightmedicine.com citations to [[Aviation medical examiner]] in 2021 ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aviation_medical_examiner&diff=prev&oldid=1005743769 diff]). I reverted the HIMS edit and removed the AME citations as well, replacing one with an FAA.gov source. I left a [[User talk:Richie Sanders#February 27 edit to Human Intervention Motivation Study -- content and citation concerns|detailed explanation on their talk page]] on 6 March 2026. No response as of 8 March 2026.

The editor also received a [[User talk:Richie Sanders#A welcome and a note on copyright|copyright notice]] in July 2014 related to their edit to [[G-force]] -- the same article where a goflightmedicine.com citation appears.

::Following the initial report and BubbaJoe123456's removal of two links, a systematic cleanup has been completed. All 14 remaining article-space links to goflightmedicine.com have been removed from the following articles:

[[G-LOC]] – replaced with Burton 1988 (PMID 3281645)

[[G-force]] – replaced with existing Burton ref

[[Tarnak Farm incident]] – removed (dead link)

[[Tenerife airport disaster]] – removed (dead link)

[[Pilot error]] – removed (dead link)

[[List of terrorist incidents in 1977]] – removed (dead link)

Previous discussions:
* [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 201#Crowdfunded vehicle article slash brochure]]
* [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 202#Aptera]]

Aptera has been getting a lot of press lately because they went public in October 2025 (Nasdaq: SEV) and completed production vehicle #1 on March 3 2026 (7 days ago).

Fotoguru edits mostly on the topic of the Aptera solar electric vehicle, which they are an investor in.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Fotoguru&diff=prev&oldid=1177648855] Pretty much all of the edits that are not about Aptera are about solar vehicle technologies and other solar vehicles. Their edits are often fine, but sometimes are promotional.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aptera_%28solar_electric_vehicle%29&diff=1185494975&oldid=1185477093][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aptera_(solar_electric_vehicle)&diff=next&oldid=1185494975]. The COI notice that they put an their user page[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AFotoguru&diff=1178496959&oldid=1144288096] does not reveal the investment and basically claims that they have no COI.

In my opinion, Fotoguru should be required to disclose their investment and COI. I am undecided as to whether they should be allowed to make direct edits on the topic of Aptera. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 19:48, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

:As you point out and reference, I've already disclosed my interest and small investment in Aptera Motors, as I'm a strong believer in clean energy and efficient use of it. At your request I've also now repeated that information it on my user page. Good enough? [[User:Fotoguru|Fotoguru]] ([[User talk:Fotoguru|talk]]) 20:48, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

::That's certainly good enough for me. I think a sincere promise to avoid being overly promotional regarding Aptera will most likely satisfy everyone here. There are actually a lot of positive things to say -- getting useful range from solar cells is quite a technical achievement -- but those sources that talk about them spending years attracting investments and not actually selling vehicles are also an important part of the story. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 01:04, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

== PredMarkWik ==

{{User|PredMarkWik}} has been repeatedly adding links to various [[Prediction Market]] wikis on several articles. Their only other changes have been some miscellaneous "cleanups" (eg. converting double spaces to single spaces) that weren't meaningful contributions. The initial links were being added to External Links sections, and now are being included as dubious citations. There has been some discussion on [[Talk:Polymarket#Proposed_external_link:_Polyguana]] and their talk page, but they don't seem to be particularly interested in conversation, and it's spread across enough articles that discussing it on each talk page seems difficult. 

Based on the account's name and the singular focus of their edits, I am strongly suspicious that this account has a conflict of interest with the linked prediction market wikis.

For whatever it's worth, I also have some suspicions that the user is an AI. Their contributions have been highly repetitive and have sometimes involved adding duplicates of the same text repeatedly across multiple changes, for example [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kalshi&diff=1342856517&oldid=1342406590]. 

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, I wasn't entirely sure but it seemed like the correct place.

I added well-sourced material about Philippa Sigl-Glöckner (co-founder of Dezernat Zukunft) to both articles. She is explicitly named in the official Epstein files released in January 2026. In a 2018 email she is described as "one of my wonderful young staff members" (with BND background and later work in the German Federal Ministry of Finance under Scholz). The case was debated in the German Bundestag on 5 March 2026 (Plenarprotokoll 21/62).

Sources:
* Anadolu Agency: https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/former-german-chancellor-scholz-s-ex-secretary-named-in-epstein-documents/3836728

* German [[Bundestag]] PDF: https://dserver.bundestag.de/btp/21/21062.pdf
* Additional coverage in WION and others.

User:Veerstomsk is now trying to delete this material. This looks like whitewashing of verifiable, due content from primary Epstein documents and parliamentary debate.

The additions are neutral, sourced and proportionate (no accusation of wrongdoing). Can admins/reviewers please protect the relevant sections?

* {{pagelinks|Tom Switzer}}
* {{userlinks|RiverstoneEditor84}}

I am disclosing upfront that I have a personal connection to the subject 
of this article, Tom Switzer, as we previously worked together at the 
same organisation. He has asked me to flag this issue. In accordance 
with Wikipedia's COI guidelines, I am raising this concern here rather 
than editing the article directly.

The "Controversies" section of the article is being repeatedly modified 
in a way that appears to reflect a conflict of interest from another party.

Specifically, the edits:
- Completely remove the section covering Switzer's resignation from the ABC, which is well-sourced and relevant to the article

- Replace the neutral, balanced "Controversies" section with a version that focuses exclusively on the CIS sexual harassment allegations

- Introduce a non-neutral tone that disproportionately emphasises one side of the dispute

The version I am requesting be restored covers both controversies (ABC 
and CIS) in a neutral tone, sourced from reliable publications including

I request that a neutral editor review both versions and that the page 
be considered for semi-protection given the repeated biased editing. [[User:Editor24577|Editor24577]] ([[User talk:Editor24577|talk]]) 10:00, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you for raising this through the proper channels. I'd like to address the specific claims made and provide additional context.
:First, I did not remove content about Switzer's resignation from the ABC. That material has been moved to the career section of the article, where it sits chronologically alongside his other career history. It remains fully sourced.
:Second, my edits were not limited to the controversies section. I restructured the entire article to improve neutrality per WP:NPOV, including trimming promotional language, removing non-notable biographical detail from the early life section, and reorganising the career section chronologically. These changes are all visible in the edit history.
:Third, regarding the sexual harassment section — much of the language in this section was originally written by other independent editors and has been restored on multiple occasions by different editors when removed. The content is sourced entirely to independent reporting from The Sydney Morning Herald and the Australian Financial Review, and covers both the allegations and Switzer's denial, the resolution, the apology issued by CIS, and the reported costs. The sexual harassment allegations have their own dedicated section on the Centre for Independent Studies Wikipedia article, and the same treatment is appropriate here given the significance of the matter and the volume of independent coverage.
:I welcome review by a neutral editor and am happy to discuss any specific concerns about sourcing or neutrality. [[User:RiverstoneEditor84|RiverstoneEditor84]] ([[User talk:RiverstoneEditor84|talk]]) 10:18, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Requesting COI review of this article. It has a polished, profile-building tone, relies significantly on sources closely connected to the subject or employer, and gives extensive space to sensitive personal and dispute-related material. The overall presentation feels more like a curated public profile than a neutral encyclopedia biography, so I’m concerned about possible interested editing as well as BLP/weight/notability issues.
