Please explain your contributions using a descriptive edit summary. Changing information on Wikipedia (such as numbers and dates) without explanation, as you did at Daniel Brochu, may be confused with vandalism. Thank you. Loafiewa (talk) 03:28, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

I AM Daniel Brochu. My birthdate was wrong. I changed it. That is all.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Dcb000. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Daniel Brochu, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Laplorfill (talk) 04:07, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Ummm, no external relationship. It is me. I edited my own page. The birthdate was wrong and I fixed it. It is information about me, so I think I should be authorized to change something that is not correct. Wouldn’t you say so?

 * External relationship means you are related to the subject of the article. Which you very clearly are if you are the subject of the article. All information in Wikipedia needs to be verifiablle by readers. A reader has no way to verify the change you tried to make. You need an independent (of you), reliable source. Whether you are Brochu or not. Laplorfill (talk) 05:05, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

What the...? Are you saying I cannot edit my OWN content? Even if it’s false? Dcb000 (talk) 05:31, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm saying two things. First, if you have a conflict of interest, as you do, you should not edit that article. Second, and more importantly, all information in Wikipedia articles should be verifiable. Please go read the policy at that link. It is the central policy of Wikipedia, and not negotiable. Provide a reliable, independent source. Laplorfill (talk) 05:36, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Why would anyone else seek to change the false birthdate on my page? It only concerns ME. I would like it rectified. I’m actually, by changing the dates, making myself older(my REAL age). Not younger or more desirable to a younger audience. I just want the truth out there. Which begs the question: Who was able to list my false birthdate in the first place? Why isn’t that person questioned about his or her right to information about me? Dcb000 (talk) 05:40, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Am I really supposed to ask a friend or a relative to go on Wikipedia and change personal info about me? That’s preposterous and totally self aggrandizing. To think that I donated to this site years ago. Dcb000 (talk) 05:44, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Like editing a profile on a web site I shop from, I should be able to edit the one site that comes up when people type my name into a search bar. It is my right fir my information to be correct. You know it’s me editing it; you shouldn’t need anyone else to verify. Do you need more permission than from the actual person involved? I can change any info about me on any other website. Why not this one? Dcb000 (talk) 05:47, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Verifiable? Like how? Should I have my neighbour take a picture of my birth certificate? Dcb000 (talk) 05:49, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * You are correct that the current date of birth is unsourced, so I have removed it. I have absolutely no idea who you are. You claim to be Boucher, but anyone could make that claim and I have no way to verify that. Which is why Wikipedia insists that information in articles is verifiable <--- GO READ THIS LINK. If you want to understand what a reliable source is READ THIS LINK ---> WP:RS. Laplorfill (talk) 05:53, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

I understand. I am Brochu. Not Boucher. I know the information to be correct and valid. I thank you for changing it. And thank you for not believing any information from any source. I assure you, I AM who I say I am. Only me would change information online to make me 10 years Older...

Can I consider this conversation settled? Dcb000 (talk) 05:59, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Or do I still need a verifiable source? Dcb000 (talk) 06:00, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

I don’t mind my birthdate NOT being printed. I just didn’t want it printed WRONG.., Dcb000 (talk) 06:01, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
