Help me!
Please help me with... Hi, I am trying to update the page for Tourmaline (activist) - she asked me to update it for her, because it is currently not up to date and inaccurate, but i got a message that I was not conforming to wikipedia policies or changing too many things. Can you explain this please? How should I go about updating it? Dishonestwork (talk) 23:08, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , your edit was reverted as it no way follows the Manual of Style for Wikipedia articles. Question though, when you say she asked you to update it, are you being paid for this? - Rich T&#124;C&#124;E-Mail 23:24, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with... not being paid! but how did it not follow the guidelines? or rather, how is one to update with accurate info? will all updates be rejected? i cited everything. Dishonestwork (talk) 04:58, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You state above that Tourmaline asked you to edit the page for them. If they are compensating you in any way for doing so(not just money), you are a paid editor. If you are not paid, are you just doing it out of the goodness of your heart?  In any event, you do have a conflict of interest, and as such you should not directly edit the article, but you may make formal edit requests(click for instructions) on the article talk page. If you have a follow-up comment, simply edit this existing section instead of creating a new section, and using the Help Me tag is unnecessary. 331dot (talk) 08:26, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
