I am declaring the that I have a COI for the draft article Draft:Sandra M Swain. I currently work with Dr. Swain and was surprised to find that a Wikipedia BLP had not yet been created on her behalf. I have never used Wikipedia as a writer/editor before so I decided that I would be a great project to try to learn to use the writer/editor functions of Wikipedia. I have taken on this project in my own time and will not be financially compensated for this effort whatsoever. I truly believe that her contributions to science merit inclusion in the Encyclopedia and that a BLP on her accomplishment is not salted because of my own naïveté. I have tried to include the most reliable sources and maintain a neutral POV. Please contact me with any concerns about my contribution so that I may address them. Please understand this contribution to the encyclopedia was/is entire meant to contribute to the mission of Wikipedia. I hope the transparency in this disclosure convince reviewers/readers of that.
