User talk:Brookeweisbrod

Welcome!
Hi Brookeweisbrod: Welcome to Wikipedia, we're happy to have you! Your user name suggests you may be Brooke Weisbrod or someone closely connected to her, so let me point you to our conflict-of-interest policy. More specifically, I've given you a lot of links in the template above to our policies and guidelines, and I want to make you aware in particular of our policies on neutrality and verifiability. Since we are an encyclopedia, we try to present the facts, as drily and simply as possible, based on what appears in reliable third-party sources (such as newspapers, books by reputable publishers, and documentary or news TV coverage). We try to use primary sources - the person or company themselves - as little as possible. Your edits to the Brooke Weisbrod article removed all the third-person references that the editor who wrote the article had based it on, and as a result the article was quickly proposed for deletion as an unsupported article on a living person. Your edit also introduced personal detail that Ms Weisbrod may not want to be on a highly trafficked encyclopedic website. I am going to edit the article to replace first-name usage with last name, but you should consider whether you also want to revert any of your wording changes since this is an encyclopedia article. I hope that makes clearer why it was initially written in such a dry and simple way? Yngvadottir (talk) 16:27, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
