COI disclosure

I am adding a citation to this article about industrial hemp fiber composites and life cycle assessment data. I am disclosing that I have a connection to one of the companies referenced in the citation (Heartland Industries). The citation is to an editorially independent third-party publication (CompositesWorld) and the information added is factual and verifiable. I am not adding promotional content and I am not creating or editing any article about myself or my companies. I am following Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines (WP:COI) by disclosing this connection here before making the edit. OrganicPapi (talk) 21:39, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Although your disclosure is appropriate, the information and sources added are WP:PROMO, WP:UNDUE as a new, unreviewed material (needs a WP:SCIRS review), and WP:NOTNEWS. I reverted the edit. Zefr (talk) 22:04, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Hey Zefr - I apologize for the misunderstanding. I thought I was taking the appropriate steps with the COI disclosure. I can see how this is perceived as promotional content (although I am no longer an executive or affiliated with Heartland Industries). I will try to be more mindful about the citations I am adding.

Prose of the third and fourth paragraphs (and bulletpoints)

Hi there,

I created an account because I was a little confused by the language and formatting of the third and fourth paragraphs, and the bulletpoints. Not what I am used to as standard Wikipedia prose. I raise this paragraph:

"Regarding the Cannabis species, there remains two approaches depending on the region and the epoch, with term having various acceptions:

• All forms of Cannabis (particularly in older texts), with types differentiated binomially (Winter hemp, Summer hemp, Indian hemp...);
• Some varieties of Cannabis: a subgroup of the varietals or cultivars of the Cannabis species;
• Only Cannabis plants grown as a source of fiber and/or seed (and not of the psychoactive resin contained in the plant's tops),
• Only Cannabis plants grown for certain "purposes", including contemporary industrial hemp which includes all parts of the plant (and might therefore include tops with substances such as cannabidiol)"

I initially tried to edit to correct some malapropisms (e.g. "with term having various acceptions"), but it struck me that I'm not even sure what the author is trying to communicate here. There are two approaches to what, cultivation and use of cannabis? Why are there four bullet points if there are two approaches? Why put "purposes" in quotation marks?

I thought of striking out the paragraph entirely, but I didn't want to throw out all the information if someone else thinks it's salvageable.

Cheers,
