Welcome!
Hello, DianaSony, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Mary Magdalene (2018 film), have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia!

Help me!
Hi, I work in the digital marketing team at Sony Pictures. I need help editing the page on Mary Magdalene (2018 Film). Columbia Pictures and Affirm Films are not associated with this title. I tried to edit but got a note back saying I didn't cite any sources. I don't have any sources to cite as we just have no relation to the title.

The sources that are currently tied to where Columbia Pictures is listed on the page do not even have any relation to Columbia Pictures either.

Let me know how we can get this fixed! Thank you!

 * Greetings! First, recording the sourcing. A cursory search today, after your first edit, showed that there is are sources reporting that Columbia is distributing the film. I haven't done a full vet, but on the surface, the sourcing is there. If Columbia has pulled out, the article would need to cite a story on the withdrawal.


 * Second, because you work for Sony's marketing team, you have a conflict of interest with the film—especially since you're editing with regard to Sony's participation (or lack thereof) in the film. Additionally, you need to make the paid editor disclosures, since editing this article appears to fall within your job duties. —C.Fred (talk) 20:49, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Here is an article from NY Times that shows a correction at the bottom about Sony Pictures. If I cannot make the correction since I work for Sony, how do we get it fixed?

Correction: November 29, 2017 An earlier version of this article misstated which company will distribute the film “Mary Magdalene” in the United States and when the release date was changed. The Weinstein Company still controls distribution rights; it is not being released by Sony. In addition, the release date was changed in August, not in the aftermath of sexual harassment accusations against Harvey Weinstein.


 * You link it here, and an independent editor like me goes "Hey, you're right" and updates the article. :) Seriously, that's the process: request the change (usually the article's talk page works better) and let and editor with no conflict of interest make the change. —C.Fred (talk) 21:15, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Amazing, thank you! As you can tell, this is my first time. I will make note of this for the future!
