Edits to Carol Greider

edit

Thanks for your recent edits to Carol W. Greider. As your edits were unsourced, I had to revert them per Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons.

1. Per this source, Carol Greider married Nathaniel C. Comfort in 1993. I have not seen any sources which indicate they are no longer married.

2. Per this source, the discovery was made on Christmas of 1984.

3. The image uploaded, File:GREIDER_Carol_2014.jpg, is currently missing evidence of permission. More details can be found on the file's page.

4. There was evidence supporting Leslie Wilson's contribution as an advisor and has been left.


If you have any evidence supporting the changes you've attempted, please feel free to add them. Keep in mind, however, that if this is the real Carol Greider it is a potential Wikipedia:Conflict of interest-like situation, hence the need for secondary sources.

Welcome to Wikipedia and please let me know if you have any further questions!

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Carol.w.greider. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Carol W. Greider, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 17:50, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
