User talk:Brandon Mably

Kaffe Fassett
Hi Brandon Mably and thank you for your contributions. I can't help noticing that, as per your user name, you appear to be editing your partner's Wikipedia page, which is seen as problematic conflict of interest. While the edits you are making are mostly fine and maintain an appropriate tone, you are also removing sourced/cited information in some of the changes, such as the recent removal of a reference to Kaffe working with Liza Prior Lucy, and modifying a reference to a previous relationship. These are edits that, coming from someone identifying themselves as the subject's current partner (both personal and design-wise), have to be queried as they may not represent the Neutral point of view that is ideally required in Wikipedia editing.

The changes in themselves are reasonably minor, and as Brandon Mably, you of course have significant insight and inside knowledge, but it is Wikipedia policy that edits should ideally be verifiable through reference to published sources. While we do not wish to denigrate the knowledge of the partner, we cannot really accept edits made simply on a close relative, partner, or personal friend's "say-so" unless the information can be verified by its already being published elsewhere or cited in a reliable third-party source. Ideally, it would be preferable for you to request any particularly significant edits or changes on Talk:Kaffe Fassett so that third parties can make the changes as appropriate after verifying that they can be verified. (do see Talk:Louise Kennedy for an example of how a collaboration could work.)

Again, thank you for your edits and input, and I hope that you understand why your editing might offer cause for concern, and that it is not intended as adverse commentary or as a personal slight. Mabalu (talk) 15:21, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
