Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to María Elena Salinas, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Hi Vanamonde93,

I was instructed to edit/update Maria Elena Salinas Wikipedia page per her request. I am her personal visitant and most of the information was outdated including the image used (which she did not like). I really need to go in and make those edits that you deleted, therefore please do not delete again or revert any of the edits done. You can of course go in and include information (if factual) but do not delete.

Based on the information I shared with you above, I will be going back into her Wikipedia page and once again add all the information that was deleted.

If you have any further questions let me know.

Thank you, Sabrinaalvarez (talk) 18:12, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Sabrinaalvarez. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article María Elena Salinas, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. ToThAc (talk) 18:21, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello, this is Maria Elena Salinas. I asked my assistant to go into Wikipedia to update because not only are there things that are outdated but also innacurate. I don't feel comfortable with someone going in there and deciding how to describe me or my career that doesn't know me and doesn't have the correct information. To start I don't want that picture up there, also when you google me a Wikepedia message describes me as Mexican journalist and I am an American Journalist, not Mexican. Please let me know who I need to contact to have this issue taken care of.

What's needed first of all is for the two of you to pay attention to what you are being told. When you don't pay attention to what multiple editors tell you, we call that I didn't hear that behavior, and it could be grounds for being blocked from editing.

So, for the fourth time: You both need to understand that the article about Maria Elena Salinas is not yours to shape as you see fit, and that you both have a serious conflict of interest with regard to it. In addition, you, who are presumably paid to be Maria Elena Salinas' assistant, are probably in violation of our policies on paid editing. As pointed out, saying that "[we] have access to her most recent information" is not helpful, since such information needs to be verifiable by any editor, so privately-held non-public information is not an acceptable basis for addiing or changing information in articles.

Here's what you probably should do: since you are in possession of the most up-to-date information, that puts you in a position to find that information in reliable publicly available sources. They you should put the information, and the sources which support it, on the talk page of the article, and another editor will look it over, check the source, and add it to the article if they think it's accurate and worthwhile. You should not edit the page directly, because of your COI.

I hope that is clear and understandable. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:30, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
