Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Philippa Tomson, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the "sandbox" rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Dawn Bard (talk) 17:30, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

The information on Philippa Tomson is incorrect. Her circumstances have now changed and now as a result of the incorrect information, it is having a detrimental impact on both her personal and professional life. I've been instructed to update the page with the correct information. How do I go about doing this? I look forward to your response. Regards, Samgram

  • Hello and welcome to Wikipedia,
If the correction is minor and non-trivial, you can correct it yourself. However, I think it's probably better if you suggest the changes on the associated Talk page, and let someone else make that change. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 19:28, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Pip has asked me to make the changes on there because some of the information is incorrect though, Whilst I appreciate that anyone can contribute, at the moment it is having a negative impact. Where do I find the associated talk page? What i plan to put doesn't paint her in any different light. It simply removes the information causing her distress and replaces it with benign information that people can use to learn about her. I look forward to your response. Regards, Samgram

The article is at Philippa Tomson and its talk page at Talk:Philippa Tomson. Please add new material at the bottom of the talk page, and sign your contributions there by ending them with a group of four "tilde" characters ~~~~, which the system will turn into a signature with your username and the time and date. That helps keep things in order.
What you should add is: a note of anything that is inaccurate about the present article, with references to reliable sources that can confirm it, and a note of new information you think should be added, also with references. Two important points I should make clear are:
  • Wikipedia:Verifiability is an important principle: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source." The article cannot be based on unsubstantiated assertions, positive or negative.
  • Wikipedia is anxious to get the article right, but reliably sourced information will not be removed just because the subject doesn't like it.
There is useful advice at WP:Biographies of living persons/Help.
