User talk:Alisanoellechilders

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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 our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Hi, I am Alisa Childers, and I’d like to correct some incorrect information that is on my wiki page. I’m not sure how to go about this. Can you help? Thank you! Alisanoellechilders (talk) 17:11, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure. If you have reliable sources that talk about the content you're trying to correct, feel free to supply both. You would add the new content and add a reference, like this:
 * This is the content you want to add.
 * Don't copy-and-paste the content from that site. That would be a copyright violation.
 * If that site you're hoping to use as a reference is run by you, don't us it, unless it's basic biographic information (like your birth date, marriage facts, etc.) Things like the fact that you're blogging should really come from a secondary source like Christianity Today, Relevant Magazine, or an interview in a reliable source.
 * As for removing unreliable content (read: anything that doesn't have a reference) simply remove it and reference WP:V, WP:BLP or both. If it has a reference, and you want to update it, follow the new content steps above.
 * One last thing. Be careful. Some editors do not appreciate it when subjects edit their own articles. If you're careful to add secondary sources for everything, you should be OK, but there are conflict of interest guidelines (linked above) that you can follow if you want to be a bit more sure. Your biography article is on my watch list. Any time a change happens to it or its talk page, I usually see it and can respond within a day or two. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the info. My apologies...I didn't understand how all this works, and I meant no disrespect to the writer of the article. :) There were two corrections I had hoped to make, although it seems that the two lines I took out are no longer there, so it may be fine now. One problem was that the article stated that my husband and I began a romantic relationship while we were on the Carman tour. The article cited as a reference is correct in that we met on the Carman tour, but a romantic relationship didn't develop until 2003, (which was almost 3 years after the tour.) The other sentence I took out is the one stating I'm a member at Grace Chapel. I used to be, but no longer. These were the only two things I had hoped to make right. Do I need to do anything else? Thank you.
 * If you intend to continue editing Wikipedia, there's one thing you should do: Prove that you indeed are Alisa Childers. Otherwise your account may get blocked from editing to prevent someone else from impersonating Childers. The way to do so is by email (for example, from an email address associated with the alisachilders.com domain) to info-en@wikimedia.org; see WP:IMPERSONATE for details on how to confirm that you are who your username suggests you are, and for the policy behind this requirement. I apologize for the bureaucracy, but you'll appreciate that it's meant to protect you from having others impersonate you and possibly doing mischief in your name.
 * On an unrelated note, for editors with a conflict of interest such as yourself it is considered best practice not to edit the article directly but to propose specific changes on the article's talk page (in this case, Talk:Alisa Childers) and leave it to uninvolved editors to implement the change if they see it as an improvement. You can add the code (including the curly brackets) to such a request to make it more visible to others. Huon (talk) 22:24, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
