I see a banner above this wiki that questions a neutral point of view. I posted the latest addition and I wonder if the banner addresses the litigation information. It includes the current response from the defendants who are not addressing specific litigation in progress. As the issue develops, I expect to post more.

This article was originally posted not be me but by the editorial board many years ago. I submitted it for inclusion and they were aware of my secondary familial relationship to the subject. It was vetted and posted. I have added to it over the years based upon Google alerts about the subject. All of my inclusions are thus supported by public citations. Several other editors and bots have helped maintain this article by adding to the content, checking for expired links snd improving the coding.

I would like to have this banner removed or remove it myself. Dnikkir (talk) 15:16, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have addressed the COI question and there has been no follow-up discussion offered to my reply. Since the banner has not yet been removed, I intend to remove it myself. Dnikkir (talk) 16:32, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
