Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Ana Bailão, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 22:52, 25 June 2023 (UTC)


 * She plead guilty. That is not a conviction. Please read the source. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 22:53, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello User:Adakiko. I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that when a person pleads guilty, they are convicted. This National Post article does use the phrase "Ana Bailao has been convicted". Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 23:19, 25 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Not sure where to look. convict suggests to be done by a judicial body. Maybe after one pleads, the court approving it may be a conviction? states: I'll revert my edit. Cheers [[User:Adakiko|Adakiko] (talk) 23:26, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I see in our article Plea, it states "a defendant who pleads guilty is automatically convicted". So that's likely the case outside of Virginia too... Thanks, Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 23:31, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
