Your username
Hi ,

welcome to Wikipedia. Are you currently an intern at a company related to your edits?

Please take a moment to answer this question before making any further edit.

Thank you very much in advance and best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:56, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi , Yes I am an intern at the MacDowell Colony and we give the Edward MacDowell Medal to an artist every year. We are just adding the award to the page of past medalists. Internnh (talk) 18:15, 6 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi, thank you very much for the quick and precise response.
 * However, please do not edit articles directly in this regard. Even if it may seem tiresome, please request these edits on the articles' talk pages instead. Whenever you would like to add something to an article, use request edit on the article's talk page. I will add standardized advice below.
 * Please use your user page to disclose your connection. You must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation there. The template Paid can be used to do so, but a simple sentence containing this mandatory information is sufficient.
 * When you request an edit, please begin your request with a short clarification about your connection as well.
 * I am now undoing all your currently-live edits to the pages, as they have been made in violation of Wikipedia's terms of service, and to enforce proper discussion and the addition of citations that directly support the new sentences. You are absolutely welcome to request exactly the changes that I am undoing for now.
 * Thank you very much in advance and best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:37, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Robert Motherwell, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Ditto for all your edits. Eric talk 18:02, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Eric, Eric I am an intern at the MacDowell Colony https://www.macdowellcolony.org/ and we give the Edward MacDowell Medal to an artist every year. We are just adding the award to the page of past medalists. Internnh (talk) 18:15, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * In addition to the conflict of interest information below, when you make an edit, you should include a source. I fixed your edit to Jasper Johns by adding the reference, please add references for any other changes you make in the future, thanks. Schazjmd   (talk)  18:40, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Internnh. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:37, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Hope that helps. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 19:57, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Good find, but unfortunately it's restricted access. Eric talk 22:28, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Interesting – not to me, but it may be my ad blocker., you may like to try having a look in the Internet Archive for this resource. A very recent copy is probably now available. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:41, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Edits mostly restored
Hi again, ,

after a short discussion at User talk:ToBeFree/Archive 9, and after some edits have already been restored with a citation by other editors, I have restored (most of) the remaining edits as well.

Thank you for proposing changes; the edit request at Talk:Isamu Noguchi was created correctly and has now been answered. Minor improvement suggestions for further requests, if I see correctly, have been provided in the answer to your request. The code for adding a signature at the end of your messages is "   ".

I'd like to ask for one more formality: Please disclose your employer, client, and affiliation on your user page before making the next request. Please ideally also point out your connection in the first sentence of such requests.

Thank you very much in advance and best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:36, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
