Hello, I'm JennilyW. I noticed that you recently removed content from Sanford M. Jacoby without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. 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 for reading, and I hope you understand not to remove content without giving a reason in the Edit Summary.JennilyW (talk) 21:35, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I am Sanford Jacoby. Someone else created the page and I am editing it.
 * Yeah, right. I don't believe you. You sure? Also, please remember to sign your port by using the four tildes. JennilyW (talk) 23:27, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * To be more diplomatic, if you are indeed the subject of the article you have what Wikipedia refers to as a conflict-of-interest. See WP:COI. This means that you are strongly advised to request changes to the article on the Talk page of the article - for an editor to implement or not. Furthermore, even if there is information you know to be true, it must be supported by reliable source references. Anything that Sanford Jacoby has published, also anything SJ has said about himself in an interview, are considered primary sources, and not valid (with a few minor exceptions).

 * Your retort was rude. One of the cardinal rules of Wikipedia is be polite. Another is disagree with content, but do not attack or insult the editor. David notMD (talk) 03:26, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Um, how was I rude? I was just telling them that I didn't believe them. JennilyW (talk) 03:28, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia accepts on face value what an editor writes as true unless there is evidence not to. In this case, an IP editor stated that he is Sanford Jacoby. There is no evidence he is not. David notMD (talk) 15:37, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

You are welcome to look at the original page and at the changes I've made. I updated one section to reflect a newly published book. I don't think a change such as that represents a conflict of interest. It provides fresh information, which is why I am a regular financial supporter of Wikipedia--to foster information flow. You are also welcome to email me at my official work email to determine if I am really Sanford Jacoby. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanfordius2 (talk • contribs) 18:28, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, 70.93.156.228. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Sanford M.

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 or competitors;

 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * 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 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.
