Diamá discography
Hi there Magnifiquemusic, and nice work on Diamá discography! I moved the page to a simpler title for you - I think this one is more in line with Wikipedia's article name guidelines. (I like the simple look, too.) Now all you have to do is add some citations, and it will be a great article. If you have any questions about editing or about Wikipedia, I'll be happy to help. All the best. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 13:14, 7 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Mr. Stradivarious thank you so much for your help. Thow i think you should not delete the LGBT Performances since it is a very important part for the artist and they are very unproblematic to research. If there are some cotroversial citations those can be deleted althow i personally do not see any. Thank you again for your help. We are the management of the artist and will reference the whola article of the artist as soon as we are done adding every information. Kind regards. --Magnifiquemusic (talk) 13:21, 7 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I can sympathize with you about the LGBT sections - they looked good and added a lot to the article. The problem is that Wikipedia has very strict policies about biographies of living people. From WP:BLP: "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." Wikipedia has seen a few scandals in the past about biographies where material was unsourced, which is why the policy is so strict. When I write articles I always find it's easiest to add sources at the same time as adding the text - maybe you could try doing it that way? Also, I'm sure you've worked it out, but if you want to look at the content that I removed, you can see it in the page history. Finally, if you are the management of the artist, you should be aware of Wikipedia's policies on people who have a conflict of interest. I'll leave another note about that below. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 13:39, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

I don't even know the artist, i have been asked from management to take care of her wikipedia page since i know how to use it. I'm a neutral person. Thank you for your help. --Magnifiquemusic (talk) 13:54, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Magnifiquemusic. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Claudia D'Addio, 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 following the 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:


 * 1) 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.
 * 2) Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * 3) Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * 4) 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.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 13:39, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, I should add this following information about username policy: The username you have chosen (Magnifiquemusic) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 13:57, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Claudia D'Addio, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

I don't even know the artist, i have been asked from management to take care of her wikipedia page since i know how to use it. I'm a neutral person. Thank you for your help. --Magnifiquemusic (talk) 13:55, 7 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Sounds to me like you should stay well away from this article if you work for a company that is related to the artist in question. Please read Wikipedias guidelines on conflicts of interest for more.  Nik the  stoned  14:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)


 * (ec) That's fair enough, and I believe you. The point is, though, that you might get in trouble with your management if you make edits about D'Addio that aren't flattering about her; Wikipedia's neutrality policy, however, requires that you include all viewpoints about her, including the negative ones. Hence the problem - your management's interests and Wikipedia's policies are working against each other. The best way to get round this is to create a new account with a username associated with you rather than your company, to leave a note on your new user page and on Talk:Claudia D'Addio saying that you have a conflict of interest, and to try and keep your editing as neutral as possible. If you do these three things, then you shouldn't have any problems editing the article. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 14:09, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * And like Nik says, it is frowned upon to edit articles with which you have a conflict of interest. However, it is not impossible. I also recommend reading the conflict of interest page before doing any more editing. Thanks! —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 14:12, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
