Hello, RainRiverWater, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Watercolorsoul (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections before editing further. Thank you.

Hello, Please stop deleting this page. You have no reason to make the claim above. Also, deleting a page multipul times for no reason constitutes as vandalism as there is no cause to constantly delete or revert a page for no apparent reason other than to win an argument. If there is a clear reason for deleting this page, please state it otherwise I will report this behavior to wikipedia a this is the 4th + time you have done so with no cause or explanation. All of the information on this page is correct and sited. RainRiverWater (talk) 08:46, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

1. "this is the 4th + time you have done so with no cause or explanation". What is this?
2. I am not deleting the page; you are attempting to force content in with what you hoped would be zero accountability. Read WP:DUCK. The section § Usage says:

   For example, consider that "User:Example1" is engaged in a heated dispute with someone else, and gets blocked because of it. Immediately after, a "User:Example2" registers on Wikipedia and continues the dispute right away, saying the same things and in the same tone. The duck test allows us to consider it an obvious sockpuppet, and act in consequence.

3. You are clearly an undisclosed paid editor. Why else would you arrive on a page you had never edited before to immediately continue a dispute that I was having against another account suspected of the same behaviour?

No one is arguing with you. You have reverted this page multiple times for no reason. Why would you make the wild assumption of this being paid. I believe you are the undisclosed paid editor because why else would you be reverting a page multiple times without reason? This page is clearly sited and all the information is accurate.

Hello RainRiverWater. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:RainRiverWater. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=RainRiverWater|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 13:48, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. RainRiverWater (talk) 14:04, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

What is your connection to the person you're editing about? 331dot (talk) 14:17, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

"I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits."

@331dot: I bet they lied. Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 14:20, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

I am Azède Jean-Pierre, the subject of the article. I have a conflict of interest that I should have disclosed from the start, and I apologize for not doing so; I did not realize I was required to. Watercolorsoul was also my account. I did not understand that using more than one account on the same article without disclosure isn't permitted, and I won't do that again. I will not edit the article directly going forward. I've prepared a sourced edit request for the talk page, which I'll submit from a single, disclosed account with the conflict of interest declared on its user page, as I should have done from the start. RainRiverWater (talk) 14:31, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Yes, you should have said this from the beginning. Please review the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 15:00, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

I don't know what edit you want to propose, but I would suggest that you propose small, incremental requests, not a large rewrite. 331dot (talk) 15:06, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

One more piece of advice- the easiest way for you to add a photo of yourself is to take a selfie, you can then upload it to Commons as the photographer. It is possible but harder to add photos that others took, as then you have to figure out copyright and stuff. 331dot (talk) 15:09, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. All of the photos I have uploaded were self Portraits taken by me. I'm also an experienced photographer. RainRiverWater (talk) 15:15, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

The main problem with the other photos is that they were published elsewhere first. A fresh photo of yourself taken by you specifically for Wikipedia is the easiest path to getting one in the article about you. 331dot (talk) 15:41, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Writing neutrally, citing sources and conflict of interest

Please read Wikipedia policy on neutrality. Adding content that describes an article subject using terms like "innovative" and describing fashion weeks as "prestigious" is voicing an opinion, which encyclopedias don't do. Any opinions in the articles need to be attributed to reliable sources, they cannot appear as the opinion of Wikipedia. Content like this will be removed.

Please also make sure that the sources you are citing actually verify what the article claims. It is not enough for the article to mention the subject in passing on a subject that is tangentially relevant. If you want the article to say she was a mentor, you need a source that actually says this.

Could you also state whether you have a conflict of interest in editing this article? Thanks. Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 10:47, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Edit request: lead paragraph wording

Continuing from my disclosure on User talk:RainRiverWater.

Please change: "Azède Jean-Pierre is an American fashion designer known for her innovative designs and contributions to the fashion industry. She is the founder of the Azède Jean-Pierre label, which has garnered international acclaim and has been showcased at prestigious fashion weeks in New York and Paris."

To: "Azède Jean-Pierre is an American fashion designer. She is the founder of the Azède Jean-Pierre label, which has been shown at New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week." She is also the founder of AJP Consulting.

Reason: "known for her innovative designs," "garnered international acclaim," and "prestigious" aren't supported by the cited source, per WP:PEACOCK. The factual claim about the two fashion weeks is kept and cited. RainRiverWater (talk) 16:48, 1 July 2026 (UTC) RainRiverWater (talk) 16:48, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: See below. pattersonuwu ^njz (talk) 17:01, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Edit request: add AJP Consulting founding to lead

Continuing from my disclosure on User talk:RainRiverWater.

Please add to the lead paragraph: "She is also the founder of AJP Consulting, a design and product studio."

Note on sourcing: this cites the subject's own website per WP:ABOUTSELF, for a simple, uncontroversial factual claim (that the company exists and who founded it). Happy to use a different source if editors prefer one. RainRiverWater (talk) 16:55, 1 July 2026 (UTC) RainRiverWater (talk) 16:55, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: Your user talk page is not the place to request an edit. Please go to the talk page for Azède Jean-Pierre. I will be closing the above request shortly as well. pattersonuwu ^njz (talk) 17:00, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
