Just for the record, I have never been paid or requested to create or edit any page on Wikipedia and none of my edits have been on pages related to myself, my family, or my "friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors". Indeed, just last month I added comments to two related talk pages mentioning a recently published book that I thought might be a useful source for them, and declared my COI. (See [here] and [here].)
I have never personally met or spoken to anyone whose article I have edited with the exceptions of: 1) Former NASA astronautKathryn D. Sullivan, who I met for about 90 seconds in March this year after her talk at the Royal Institution, when she signed a book for my space-obsessed daughter and allowed me to take a photo of them both. You can find my edits to the pagehere. 2) Former Teletubby (!)Nikky Smedley, who I have very occasionally met socially although not for many years. When I first saw the WP article about her (about five years ago), some of the language struck me as a little self-promotional and I flagged this up, together with my COI, toUser:Martinevans123. Since then, I have added an external link (to the British Film Institute), replaced a ‘citation needed’ with a reference (one of only three in the entire article), and reverted some unexplained deletions. My edits arehere.
I am a subscriber toJerry Coyne's websiteWhy Evolution is True and frequently comment below the line. These interactions are with other readers of the website and not directly with its author, and generally involve me making stupid jokes or adding links to topics under discussion. Like many regular readers of Coyne’s website, I have emailed him with links to stories about science, cats (!), or current events that may be interest for inclusion in his posts, and have submitted photos for his 'Photos of Readers' feature. The friend who introduced me to the website, Dom, is one of many people thanked in the Acknowledgments section of one of Coyne's books – something I only discovered when I read the book myself, as Dom had never mentioned the fact to me. I don’t know how many times the two of them have met, but Coyne is aware that Dom and I know each other and asked after Dom’s health during the first UK lockdown when he hadn’t heard from him for a while. My edits to Coyne’s article arehere.
I recently created the article aboutMatthew Cobb. Like many of the Wikipedia articles I have created, I went to add a detail to a page only to find it didn’t exist and eventually got around to putting that right. I have never met, spoken to, emailed, or had any other correspondence with him. From Jerry Coyne’s website, I am aware that he and Cobb are friends; my friend Dom has also met Cobb although, again, I have no idea of the details. (Dom has a keen amateur interest in science and attends a lot of lectures and the subsequent book signings – indeed, he was there when I and my daughter met Kathy D. Sullivan!)
I have exchanged emails with the authorLinda Grant – on both occasions (two years apart) it was related to the fact that I had gone to her publisher’s website to find information for Wikipedia about her latest book only to find that the website was years out of date. My edits to the article arehere.
I hope that has clarified everything.JezGrove (talk)18:11, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I realize this is in response to something from a few years ago, but theStrickland deletion had nothing to do with notability. As the notice on SteplightJohnson's talkpage makes quite explicit: the deletion was because SteplightJohnson had copied-and-pasted the content of Strickland's entry on the Optical Society's official website, verbatim. This was a flagrant breach of our policies on copyright.
The notice further told SJ how to properly contest the deletion, a path SJ chose to not pursue.DS (talk)20:46, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
