Please do not add or change content, as you did at Bella Ferraro, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 09:43, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

I am Bella Ferraro. Cherryandpie (talk) 09:58, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Cherryandpie and thanks for your message on my talk page. A couple of things.


 * 1) I didn't put the content on the page nor am I "manning" it, I'm just a volunteer editor like most people here. If you are Bella Ferraro (sorry, obviously we can't just take your word for it as anyone can claim to be anyone here), can I suggest you first please read WP:BIOSELF which has links to who you can contact (see here) if you have problems with an article about yourself.
 * 2) Next, an important thing to understand is that wikipedia articles are not "owned" by anyone, including the person they are about. Anyone can edit them. And in fact, people should not edit articles about themselves because they have a conflict of interest and wikipedia has a clear policy about that.
 * 3) Instead, if there are things in the article that are incorrect or missing, then the best thing you can do is use the Template:Request edit on the talk page to point out what they are, providing reliable, independent sources to verify any changes you are suggesting.
 * 4) I know that can sound like a lot at first, so if you have questions, please feel free to ask them here and I or someone else can try to answer them. Thank you Melcous (talk) 10:23, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
