User talk:Chloekhan

Welcome!
Hello, Chloekhan, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 20:56, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Username concerns
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Chloekhan", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the same as the subject of the article Chloe Khan. Wikipedia policy suggests that this account should be blocked until you have contacted the Volunteer Response Team and verified your identity; this is a matter of safeguarding to make sure that any actions done in Khan's name are actually done by Khan. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 20:57, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Legal threats
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved.

(crossposted from the Chloe Khan article talkpage) Hi, and thanks for raising this issue. Please see below for a list of options:


 * (a) Amend the article - If you feel this article incompletely describes the issue, you may wish to edit the page to add additional material with references to reliable secondary sources. This is the advice also provided by Cassianto. For example, you refer to a court settlement or some other resolution of the claim - if there are sources to support this then adding them to the article might help put the issue in context. If you'd like to do this but aren't familiar with Wikipedia editing, you could simply post links to the reliable source(s) here on this page and others will likely assist in adding them to the article.


 * (b) Suggest the entire issue is too trivial for inclusion - it sometimes happens that Wikipedia articles include info that might be reliably sourced, but is simply too trivial to be given prominence in an encyclopedia. This policy explains what to do in these circumstances; essentially, you should argue this here on this talkpage, and see if a consensus of editors agrees. If they do, the entire sentence could simply be removed.


 * (c) Pursue legal options - I gather this is closest to your actual view: you feel that the article as worded is simply libelous; and regardless of anything else you would like the sentence removed. To quote from the relevant policy: It is the responsibility of all contributors to ensure that material posted on Wikipedia is not defamatory. It is also Wikipedia policy to delete libelous material when it has been properly identified. Those who believe they are the subject of a libelous statement on Wikipedia are strongly encouraged to email mailto:info-en-q@wikipedia.org with details of their concern. If you do think this article is libelous, and you are considering legal action, can you please follow the advice in this section and send an email with relevant details to the address given. To expedite this I've also directly emailed WMF Legal (legal@wikimedia.org) to make them aware.

I hope the above is helpful in outlining some of the options. On thing that you shouldn't do is continue to post threats of legal action on-wiki. In fact, continuing to do so may result in a block from editing, as has now occurred. This is not because legal issues should be disregarded or hidden but because they are unlikely to be resolved on-wiki, and will have a "chilling effect" on regular editing. There's more information on this here, including the reasons why legal threats aren't helpful on article talkpages.

I suppose I should add, as Eggishorn does on the article talkpage, that the entire article is proposed for deletion as being not notable. This might (or might not) have the effect of addressing the concern.

And again, nothing in the above should be taken as a suggestion that you cannot - or should not - pursue any legal action against any person or the WMF. It's simply an outline of some of the options, including how to get a response from the WMF as owners of the Wikipedia website. All the best. -- Euryalus (talk) 01:00, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
