Hello. Just checking, but are you RP, as [1] implicitly asserts? If so, it is probably a good idea to say so explicitly (perhaps on your user page, User:Lorax2000, in case you're not used to navigating). I don't think the COI concerns are significant, but making your identity explicit would help alleviate any concern that you're trying to slip things under the radar.
You might also wish to include a note that you are Raymond Pierrehumbert (but obviously that is the wiki article about you, not your user page). The somewhat Byzantine WP:COI rules allow you to edit that page, but discourage you from doing so; you're better off just commenting on that article's talk page (actually you're probably better off ignoring the page entirely and regretting that I ever brought it to your attention) William M.
