Speedy deletion nomination of The Walking Dead: March to War
Hello Benfjackson,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged The Walking Dead: March to War for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. JackTracker (talk) 16:45, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to The Walking Dead: March to War. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Hey
Please don't do things like that to the Ed Henry article. Standard Wikipedia format is that the lede should describe people in terms of their defining characteristics. And although the Moore apologia may have catapulted Henry to prominence, that was just today. It's much too soon to add that sort of statement to the lede section; if people are still talking about it in a year, then we can reconsider. DS (talk) 22:47, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SNUGGUMS. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 20:50, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons. Please don't keep adding claims unless you have citations to back them up! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 20:52, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Benfjackson. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Tara Strong, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. 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;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see 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.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Bbb23 (talk) 22:58, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * One more edit to Tara Strong, and you will be blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:59, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Howdy -
 * I've moved the post below from my Talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:17, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

To be clear, I have no conflict of interest with Tara Strong. I did not link anywhere, I disclosed that I am sometimes employed by her. I am not being compensated for editing her wikipedia page. She asked me to update her basic biographical information - which is a matter of public record. I can't see any reason why simply adding a divorce, at the request of the person who is divorced, to accurately reflect their current status could possibly be problematic. It is unlikely to appear in the news, and she is unlikely to comment on it publicly, which is why she wanted this to be updated.

Another user appears to have named themselves the Tara Strong police, and in this case is simply leading to wikipedia having inaccurate information. Please revert undos to indicate her current divorced status.

 * First, you don't have to be paid to have a COI. What you describe is a conflict. Second, your comment about another user is a personal attack. If you make such comments again, you risk being blocked. Finally, as for adding the divorce material, that will not occur until it's supported by a reliable source. That is the way it works at Wikipedia, and policy will not be changed for you.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:22, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
