Help request
Why are my changes in violation?


 * Hi there,


 * When you leave messages on talk pages, please make a "new section" at the end. Also, please "sign" your message, by putting ~ at the end, to add your username and the date/time.


 * I will look at your edits now, and reply here very soon (within 15 minutes),


 * Cheers,  Chzz  ►  20:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Note, the image uploads appear to be fine now as Cbergman is now first uploading them through flickr and working with the official channels. I believe the recent problem was with the removal of citations. Plastikspork (talk) 20:27, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

(put this section back so that I can answer the questions :-)  Chzz  ►  20:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC))


 * The (first) new picture that you uploaded was a copyright violation. All pictures must be copyright-free, and that one was taken from here on flickr, where it is marked as "© All rights reserved". Hence the picture was deleted.
 * I see that later, a new picture was uploaded with appropriate permission emailed to Wikipedia, and this is now on the article.


 * With your second edit, you changed various information - for example, you changed;

"Benz was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her father is a Pittsburgh surgeon"

To;

" Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to a general vascular surgeon and a homemaker, Julie is the youngest of three children, all of whom are accomplished ice skaters. Born a natural performer"


 * There are two problems with this; firstly, the reference does not state these facts, and secondly, we must avoid non-neutral language such as "a natural performer"; we only state facts, not opinion, and all facts should be referenced to reliable sources. This is especially important on biographies of living people.


 * Further edits were similar, ie addition of non-neutral information without references.


 * For more information on this, see the policy about biographical articles.


 * Also, I need to ask the question - do you have a 'conflict of interest' with this article - ie are you the subject, or are you involved with the subject, or have acted in a professional capacity for them? If so, please do not further edit the article - see either WP:AUTO (if it is you), or WP:COI and WP:BESTCOI otherwise.


 * I hope that this helps; for more help, you can either;


 * Leave a message on my own talk page;
 * Use a - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put , and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~ at the end;
 * Talk to us live, with this or this.
