Recent edit to Dee Barnes

Hello, and thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to the Dee Barnes article. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. Thank you! — Iambic Pentameter _{(talk / contribs)} 19:02, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Dee Barnes

Hello, Ddbarnes15. I've noticed that you've made a few edits to the article for Dee Barnes. Given your username, I just wanted to check whether you are Dee Barnes herself, or perhaps someone who works for or with her? If you are, please note that we have a policy on editing pages about oneself on Wikipedia: see WP:Conflict of interest. Wikipedia articles are based around a WP:Neutral point of view and it is hard to maintain that if an editor of the page is a subject of the article.

If you are not connected to her and perhaps just took a similar name for another reason, then I hope that this message is not taken as an attack on you. I am just doing my duty in checking on Wikipedia's policies.

This team is working with the artist. There seems to be an extreme amount of hostile misinformation edited onto the page continuously. This misinformation is disseminated as if personal, when the "users" have had no contact with the artist, therefore this is their personal opinions on how this information should read which is false and unfair to the artist. The handle was chosen to show authenticity of facts. I hope that this message is not taken as an attack on you but it's most interesting that only "noticed" few correction edits, but never sent messages for the many false edits. We are just doing our best to protect the artist within the guidelines of the Wikipedia policies.

Hello. Thank you for your response. As you are working with the artist, I need to put a note on the article to say that a contributor has a close connection. This doesn't mean that you cannot edit it to remove misinformation or false information. It does mean that your edits may be scrutinised particularly for their accuracy. In addition, can you please not put URLs in the main body of the article? That is not how we present things on Wikipedia. Epa101 (talk) 20:27, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

COI

Hello, Ddbarnes15. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Bueller 007 (talk) 20:52, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

October 2019

Hello, I'm Ravensfire. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Dee Barnes that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The edit summary here [1] is a pretty clear personal attack and shows either ignorance of how Wikipedia works or a disregard for how it works (or both). Please read WP:OWN as nobody owns pages on Wikipedia, including the subject of a particular article. That would clearly breach any concept of neutrality. You need to read the comments others have left and read up on how Wikipedia works. Ravensfire (talk) 23:35, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Ddbarnes15, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Dee Barnes, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.
