Hello, I'm Muboshgu. I noticed that you recently removed content from Denée Benton without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:05, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Denée Benton. Bbb23 (talk) 14:50, 13 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Is there no way to remove personal information that is no longer relevant from someone’s Wikipedia article? MINYNJ (talk) 15:22, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Her marriage is relevant to her. If they've divorced, we need a reliable source saying that. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * For his privacy she would prefer his name not be available, is it possible to just remove his name? MINYNJ (talk) 15:55, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * What's your relationship to Benton?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:31, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I am her assistant MINYNJ (talk) 16:49, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * First, you must follow the instructions at WP:COI for declaring your conflict of interest. Second, you cannot edit the article directly. Instead, you must propose any changes on the article Talk page (not here). That said, if your proposed change is to remove her husband's name because Benton wants to protect "his privacy", you won't get anywhere. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a social media platform or celebrity website. Also, it doesn't make much sense.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:20, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with Bbb23. This doesn't fit the criteria for removal specified by WP:BLPNAME, which covers the privacy of non-notable individuals. If Benton didn't want her husband's name to be published, she shouldn't have had her wedding profiled in Vogue. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:28, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, MINYNJ, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Troutfarm27 (Talk) 22:33, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
