Hello, FCIPSYCH, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Federal Correctional Institution, Miami did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

Help me!

Please help me with... Hi, not sure which section needs verification- also, if needed, i have verification but not sure how to present in the article. Thanks, in advance, for your suggestions. FCIPSYCH (talk) 15:36, 9 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, I think you posted this whilst I was posting the conflict of interest notice below.
Every statement on Wikipedia should have a reference to confirm it. So, for instance, you have added "It is estimated that between 1977 - 1981, more than 70,000 Haitians and as many as 125,000 Cubans (Mariel Boatlift) migrated to South Florida with many of them being detained at the facility until their legal status was clarified". This should have a reference from an independent, reliable source to confirm it. There is a tutorial about references here: Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/1.
However, if you work at this institution, you should not normally edit the page. In that case, you can request changes on the article's Talk page. Hope that helps - you have linked to the helpers so will probably have other editors arriving to help you also. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 15:44, 9 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Edited to add to other editors who may come to help - I have not tagged this as resolved as others may have suggestions. This is clearly someone who has a lot to offer the article so I don't want mine to be the only response. Tacyarg (talk) 15:46, 9 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, FCIPSYCH. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Federal Correctional Institution, Miami, 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. Hi there, it looks from your username as if you may work at this institution. Best wishes. Tacyarg (talk) 15:38, 9 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
