User talk:Jemima Alexander

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Kevin Gould. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Both those maintenance tags were 100% necessary, don't remove them. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:50, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Multiple accounts
It appears that you and User:Phoebe Gould are the same person, given that you've been solely editing the page about her father. If you have been using multiple accounts, then be aware that this is not permitted- you must only use 1 account, and abandon the rest. If you aren't the same person, but they asked you to help you defend the article you created, this is also discouraged, as users shouldn't be recruiting their friends to help protect their articles.

Joseph2302 (talk) Not the same person but yes I was confirming his identity, as I did not realise this was against the rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jemima Alexander (talk • contribs)


 * JUst because they exist doesn't mean they deserve a Wikipedia article, they need to be notable enough, and the article would need to be neutral tone, both of which I don't think are passed by this submission. The main problem is that his daughter wrote it, and therefore she's unlikely to write it neutrally. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:11, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jemima Alexander. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Kevin Gould, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. ''Since you were trying to "confirm his identity", you must know him in real life, which means you have a conflict of interest. Please do not edit the article directly, but instead suggest changes at the article talkpage.'' Joseph2302 (talk) 15:16, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
