Hello, I'm Actualcpscm. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Bruce Rockowitz—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Actualcpscm (talk) 10:56, 13 June 2023 (UTC)


 * My question is: Do I as a person have the right not to publish my birth date here?
 * From: Bruce Philip Rockowitz 45.64.242.225 (talk) 12:04, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Not really, no. Wikipedia is merely a collection of information published in reliable sources. We have no easy way to verify who you are, so we can't really just take your word for it. For something like a birthday you could post it on a verified social media account or a website clearly under your control per WP:ABOUTSELF, but until it is published somewhere reliable, we can't have it in the article. I hope that clarifies things somewhat. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:08, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * But in this case how can you prove what the others saying is correct as well? Regarding the SCMP news article which was “referenced”: that birthday party was NOT held on my exact birth date - Does one need to hold birthday parties on the exact birth date? 45.64.242.225 (talk) 12:14, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe that source is being used just to source the year of birth, rather than the actual birthday itself. This link goes into detail about how we determine source reliability so we can assume what the sources are saying is correct. I understand this is all pretty foreign to those who don't edit Wikipedia, so if you have any other questions, let me know. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:21, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Since it’s difficult to prove either way, why can’t we just skip the birth date? Are everyone, just like all editors, showing their own full birth dates here? 45.64.242.225 (talk) 12:20, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Right now the article displays just a birth year based on that article. Do you object to that? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:22, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. ''You do not own a page about you, nor do you have the right to edit it to contain whatever you personally consider appropriate. All content on Wikipedia needs to follow the policies and guidelines; one of the most important is that information needs to be reliably sourced. See WP:V and WP:RS for more information about that. Feel free to reply with any questions or concerns.'' Actualcpscm (talk) 11:21, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, 45.64.242.225. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Actualcpscm (talk) 11:15, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
