User talk:AgathePinard

Welcome!
Hello, Francoisghebaly, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Christine Sun Kim, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

 * Hi there,
 * My recent edits have already been deleted, is there a way to retrieve them and submit them as a draft? I had cited all my edits so it is easy to fact-check them.
 * Thank you! Francoisghebaly (talk) 22:21, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Your edits weren't deleted; they were undone. The information is still in the history. Yes, you "cited" them, but not with reliable, independent, secondary sources, and thus you added to the resume-like quality of the article. But COI disclosure must come first.

 * Hi,
 * I cited with the original sources, which were the galleries where the exhibitions happened. Is it possible to at least have the image updated? The one currently being used is from 2015.
 * Thank you for your help, I'm a beginner. Francoisghebaly (talk) 22:49, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Sure, but that was precisely the problem. The "original" sources are primary sources, and you need secondary sources to prove that something matters. Please see Secondary source. The picture is fine. I can't help but notice, though, that you still haven't address the conflict of interest that I suspect you have. Drmies (talk) 00:28, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I do work for François Ghebaly gallery and we represent the artist. I however wasn't asked from my job to update her page. I simply noticed it hadn't been updated in a while and decided to change the image but then got to the exhibitions part. I made a request to have my username changed to my personal name and will simply update the image once this is approved – if it is. Thank you for your help.
