[edit] WP:COI/N

Hi - I responded to your query on WP:SKEPTIC about possible conflict of interest on dyslexia-related articles. I spent 5 minutes poking around in your edit history and I have to agree that there is a serious conflict of interest with the user you mentioned. This isn't a topic that WP:SKEPTIC would typically handle, and I know next to nothing about the treatment of learning disabilities. Still, I urge you to post to the conflict of interest noticeboard with a detailed statement of the problem. Use diffs and links to support your case, and please ask me if you need any help.

[edit] Employment

Vannin, I am a self-employed writer and web designer. I work as an independent contractor & have been hired by numerous different organizations & companies to write or do web sites for them.

I believe based on your posting history that you are a sock puppet /alter ego of Spoctacle and HeadleyDown, in particular because of the timing of editing contributions, and particular tactics you engage in, as well as the pattern of topic areas you choose to post. In fact, you are currently engaging in the tactic of "Eventually turns to virulent personal attacks (alleging bias, promotion, covert support for topic X)" as described at /Wikipedia:Long_term_abuse/HeadleyDown#Modus_operandi.

I note that you have not provided any identifying information as to your own identity or connections and/or possible conflict of interest. Armarshall 00:15, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dyslexia Project

I understand. The important thing is that you know the project exists so you can look and see what our plans are. The article is really a mess at this point, but we're planning to break it up into several articles with the top level dyslexia article written in WP:Summary style. On the Wikipedia:WikiProject Dyslexia page, there is a proposal for the reorganization and article break-out.

I hope that, when the controversy is over, you'll join us.

The Weekly Learning Disabilities Radio Talk Show is a discussion forum for the international community. How do you see it as a commercial product or advertising? I would like to invite you on the show.

[edit] Willing to collaborate on dyslexia article series?

Hi, Vannin.

I'm getting started on reorganizing the dyslexia article into a series of articles, per Wikipedia:WikiProject Dyslexia. I'm hoping you might be willing to help. Please?

If you are, let me know which subtopics you might be interested in working on.

Best,
