September 2016

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Jeannine Parvati Baker. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Please read the explanations other editors have left for you. You've been reverted by multiple editors now for adding massive amounts of unsourced, unencyclopedic content and personal photographs. Please also read WP:IRS for evaluating reliable, third-party sourcing, as well as WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and all articles here must conform to encyclopedic guidelines. Perhaps setting up a memorial site for your friend would be more in line with what you're aiming for here, rather than trying to push this through on Wikipedia.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Wellingsworth. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Jeannine Parvati Baker, 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 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. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 17:09, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Jeannine Parvati Baker, you may be blocked from editing. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 16:09, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Our articles

We are an encyclopaedia with articles which should be based in large part on what independent sources meeting our criteria at WP:RS say about the subject. We use primary sources infrequently and with great care. We should not rely on the works of the subject of an article as a major source and certainly we need to be careful about using them for facts about themselves. Sadly not everyone tells the truth about themselves. You aren't being reverted because someone doesn't like you or the subject but because your edits don't meet our guidelines and policies.
