Possible conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, JudithFisherFreed. 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 Alan Freed, 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. Based on your username and recent edits, you appear to be Judith Fisher Freed, daughter-in-law of Alan Freed. Levdr1lp / talk 18:28, 4 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Sundayclose. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Nappy Brown, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to The Nutmegs, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 00:53, 3 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please beware of adding unnecessary weblinks, even in your edit summaries, particularly if the site is one with which you have a connection. Please read our guidelines to understand why this is not a good idea. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:59, 3 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Again, please stop marking edits as minor edits if they are not minor edits. Sundayclose (talk) 01:34, 3 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Alan Freed with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you.

There is a problem with COI and inappropriately marking edits as minor, but I see nothing that could be considered vandalism. Sundayclose (talk) 01:52, 3 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Consider this a warning. Stop marking all of your edits as minor. It is deceptive and rude to other Wikipedia editors. If you continue I will escalate this at WP:ANI. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 02:34, 3 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alan Freed, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Fabian and Jamboree. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
