Hello -- My name is Tom Nordlie, I'm a public-relations writer with the University of Florida's agriculture program. This is my first Wikipedia editing experience, please forgive me if I seem ignorant.

I've been asked to expand the current Wikipedia article on Dr. Ilaria Capua, who is a faculty member here at UF.

In a nutshell, I have already prepared a lengthy biography of Dr. Capua, which was written to conform to Wikipedia standards. I plan to input the material and citations over the course of several days, beginning later this week.

Having no prior experience, I don't know if there's a standard way to proceed, but I read somewhere that it's good etiquette to notify the "founding editor" before altering a page they posted originally. So, please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Also, here's a message for anyone else who may read this -- In case the question arises, I'm a full-time, permanent employee of the University of Florida. I am paid an annual salary for writing various promotional items for the UF agriculture program. I am not an independent contractor or temp, and I'm not being paid any sort of bonus for editing this Wikipedia page. I've been involved in this kind of work 15+ years, and I am very mindful of the need to always "write to the task" and produce the sort of material an assignment requires -- in this case, thoroughly cited, fact-focused, neutral POV material. I hope that I am considered sufficiently neutral to proceed. If not, please let me know ASAP.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Small Moral Works, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Porphyry (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
