Concerning Irving E. Carlyle
Hey Archicam. Carlyle is indeed an important (and underrated) figure in North Carolina history. However, considering the Conflict of interest guideline, it is strongly recommended that you do not directly edit the article yourself if you are closely related to Carlyle. I was going to get around to improving it, but I got tied up with other things. I mass reverted your edits because a lot of the language was simply not neutral like we need it to be, some of it wasn't sourced, and some of it used a less-than-stellar source. As for what you can do in light of your conflict of interest, I suggest that you post your suggested improvements for the article on its talk page. That way myself and other editors can review it and incorporate what you provide in a manner that ensures a neutral point of view is maintained. Another thing you could do, if possible, is find a high quality family photo of Carlyle and, if you're comfortable doing so, upload it to Wikipedia with a free license, as the current photo I added is rather low quality. I emphasize family photo, and specifically a photo that either you hold the rights to or a family member holds the rights to that would give you permission to post it on Wikipedia, as a professional portrait or an image taken by a journalist is likely to have a copyright status which you cannot alter. -Indy beetle (talk) 00:51, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
