Conflict of interest policy
editHello, Jackiesshrink. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- 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.
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. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 00:26, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, I understand the part about not wanting PR - maybe saying I was her publicist was signing my own doom, but all I was trying to do was supply factual information and correct errors. For example, someone said that Nica Noelle was a columnist for Hustler, but there is no citation on the page verifying this (the cited article, from "Good Vibrations," has been removed, and so there is no way to check it. Nica says this part is of the article is factually inaccurate. According to Nica, she wrote two columns for Hustler, both of which were after she became and established director. How can I correct that?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackiesshrink (talk • contribs)
- I have moved your comment down and indented it so that is is more easily identified and read
- As someone who has a close connection to the subject of the article, you should make suggestions on the talk page, and provide reliable sources to support the content. Content in the article that is unsourced and inaccurate can be requested to be removed. Note that the source does not have to be on line, or easily accessible, but it does need enough information to be identifiable - Name of the work, the author, date of publication, publisher is helpful). You can also follow the information Wikipedia:BLP#Dealing_with_articles_about_yourself. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:44, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Nica Noelle publicist
editHi Jackie. As Nica Noelle publicist, you are limited to the non-controversial edits listed at WP:COIU in editing the Nica Noelle article. If there are other edits you would like made, please let me know or post a request on the Talk:Nica Noelle page. -- Jreferee (talk) 13:17, 20 December 2013 (UTC).
Thanks for your help Jreferee. I would like to edit the introduction to read, "Nica Noelle is the stage name of an American pornographic actress and adult film director, as well as a writer whose essays have appeared in Salon, Huffington Post and Hustler magazine.
The citations for Salon and Huffington Post are already in the references section. According to Nica, she did publish two personal essays for Hustler, but she was not a sex columnist per se (as the Good Vibrations interviewer stated). Unfortunately there are no links to the Hustler articles, which was print-only. I would argue that the edit I have proposed encompasses both what Nica says is the case and the assertion of the Good Vibrations writer. Thanks again for your help.
