Hello, I'm Wracking. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Alison Hume have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Wracking talk! 20:08, 18 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your feedback. I have been advised by others to add references. I shall be reverting some of your edits with references to support my statements. I shall not add anything without references. Can I ask why you have removed the photograph? This is a commissioned portrait owned by the subject so there is no copyright issue.

 * I reverted the entire edit because it demonstrated excessive promotion and a likely conflict of interest. Which, speaking of, I will provide an additional template message for. Wracking  talk! 17:42, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help in editing Alison's page. I suppose I do have a conflict of interest in that I am a volunteer charged with maintaining her web page and have just been given this task of editing Wikipedia. She is happy with the way the page looks now, and therefore so am I. GeraldDennett (talk) 08:43, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, GeraldDennett. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Alison Hume, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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. Wracking talk! 17:43, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
