Please help me with...

I don't know how to use Wikipedia, as I've just created an account and this is all new. Though I read several articles yesterday, about how to post and request changes to entries, etc., today I can't seem to locate the info about requesting that corrections be made to an entry about yourself. There's some sort of special "conflict of interest" notation that has to be included when someone in my position requests a change to an entry about them, and I can't seem to find that Wikipedia info section, today.

Anyhow, I see that the "Kathy Figueroa" entry (about me), is currently up for removal because, so far, at least two people have stated that they can't locate any online newspaper articles about me and, therefore I don't meet the "notable person" criteria. There are actually newspaper articles about me and my poetry/literature related activities. Folks might still consider these articles to not be noteworthy, and the entry might still be deleted, but I thought it prudent to at least have this info included, to make the entry (while it lasts) accurate. I'll mention that not all newspapers are online and, also, the content of all online newspapers isn't readily accessible. Additionally, when a newspaper company is sold, the new owners usually create a new website for it, so all of the older articles that were once online are no longer visible.

The following is a list of some of the articles that could be included in the entry in question. As I mentioned, previously, this still might not make the subject of the entry (me) notable, but it would make the entry more accurate. Thank you, in advance, for any assistance you can provide with this matter.
