SereneProf
Welcome!
editHello, SereneProf, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Managing a conflict of interest
edit
Hello, SereneProf. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Hattie M. Strong, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with 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).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Cabayi (talk) 15:36, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
@Cabayi: Thanks for reviewing the page I added for Hattie M. Strong. I want to respond to the flag for "Conflict of Interest." I do not have a conflict of interest and I am not closely affiliated with the person I am writing about. I am not being paid by my employer to edit Wikipedia. I am part of a professional development course supported by the Wiki Education Foundation to write and improve biographies of notable women. I will be adding more secondary and tertiary citations as I develop this new page, so I will not be relying on primary sources moving forward. I would appreciate the COI flag being removed, if possible. SereneProf (talk) 17:42, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Cabayi: fixing ping -Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:19, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- Ryan (Wiki Ed), I'll abide by your call as a disinterested bystander.
- SereneProf declared employment on 4 courses at Salem College, which has now been removed.
- Hattie Strong was a major donor to Salem College.
- The foundation in her name still makes grants to students at Salem College.
- There may be no conflict, but there's definitely the whiff. Cabayi (talk) 19:36, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Cabayi: To clarify for the sake of transparency, I'm not exactly disinterested. :) SereneProf is participating in a course I manage for Wiki Education. SereneProf is also teaching with Wikipedia, hence the semi-automated banners on their userpage (which people are, of course, free to remove).
- I do understand why you added the COI tag, given the confluence of factors you noticed, but I don't think it's necessary here. This is simply someone at a university writing about a historical figure who is also connected to that university, not paid editing. SereneProf just happens to have awareness of the subject and access to sources about the subject because of that connection. It's the sort of loose connection Wikipedians often negotiate. It only becomes a problem when there's paid editing and/or failure to follow NPOV and other policies/guidelines.
- In this case, unless there are particular NPOV issues to be resolved (it seems like relatively straightforward content for a new article to me), would you be alright with removing the tag? --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:00, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- Fine. It's closer to the subject than I'd feel comfortable editing, but I'm probably over-cautious. Cabayi (talk) 20:43, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- Ryan (Wiki Ed), I'll abide by your call as a disinterested bystander.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
edit|

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
