Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did with this edit to José Dumont. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you are connected to someone or something you have written about (a few examples are writing about yourself, your business, your band, a member of your family, your client) then you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way. Also, if your editing forms all or part of work for which you are paid, whether as an employee, as a contractor, or in any other capacity, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require you to state who is paying you, and what your connection to them is. Also, experience over the years has shown that unfortunately editors with a personal involvement very often are more interested in promoting claims they wish to be publicised than in upholding truth. Of course that doesn't apply in all cases, but it's common enough to justify extreme caution in accepting editing in that situation. JBW (talk) 09:31, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
