Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Marilyn Stablein. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Draft:Marilyn Stablein, 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. Thank you. wia (talk) 22:46, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
Help! Many thanks for the Barnstar! But my article was moved to Articles for Deletion. Can you suggest where I can find editing help edit request to make the article more neutral? And advice most welcome!

Nomination of Marilyn Stablein for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Marilyn Stablein is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Marilyn Stablein until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 17:51, 6 November 2015 (UTC)


 * You now see the other reason why autobiographies are not encouraged. I think we ought to have no problem with your pruning the article substantially, but others may disagree. The article is not good. The referencing is flawed and the prose is overblown. You might ask at WP:Teahouse/Questions for help. Your references must follow the following guideline, one I use when reviewing drafts:
 * "'For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.'"
 * A great number of your references are to primary and self published sources. This will make to hard to argue for the article's retention. Fiddle   Faddle  20:06, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I was going to suggest the same thing. Cut back to a very short very neutral article with every bit of content scrupulously sourced to the highest quality third party publishers. 3 -4 REALLY good sources is far better and far easier to defend than 25 terrible sources. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  20:51, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Also all of the improper external links in the body and list ( instead of merely being convenience links to the reliable sources in the references) gives it a very spammy feel. WP:EL --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  20:53, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the comments and suggestions. Is it OK for me to correct the external links and references and edit down the article? On the other hand, someone suggested I collaborate with an editor but I'm not sure how to do this? Thanks in advance.Marilyn Stablein (talk) 04:30, 7 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I would suggest one of two routes. Either:
 * Make a statement on the article's talk page that you acknowledge your conflict of interest and are editing to bring the article into line with the suggestions made on its talk page and on yours, and that you understand the need to make only 100% neutral edits. Only do this if you are 100% certain you are capable of doing this.
 * Offer an opinion at the deletion discussion that a return to draft space will allow you, as the subject of the article, to bring the article into line with the suggestions made on its talk page and on yours
 * While the first is unconventional, announcing it shows good faith and may be viewed as acceptable. Others may disagree. The second is conventional and allows work to be performed by you and others with no time pressure. I would suggest the second has more prospect of success than the first. Fiddle   Faddle  08:34, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

I would like to offer an opinion: A return to the draft space will allow me as the subject of the article, to edit the article with the suggestions made on this talk page to create a completely neutral tone, fix the External Links and references and cut the article down. Thank you for every consideration and thanks for all the helpful suggestions.Marilyn Stablein (talk) 15:10, 8 November 2015 (UTC)


 * If you have not done so already, the place to offer that is at the deletion discussion itself. Go to Articles for deletion/Marilyn Stablein and add it to the foot. Fiddle   Faddle  15:17, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

November 2015
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Marilyn Stablein. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
