User talk:Martha B. Boone

User name
Are you Dr. Martha B. Boone, author of The Big Free and Mother Charity? I ask because Wikipedia has a policy, WP:REALNAME, prohibiting use of another person's name as a Wikipedia account user name. Using your own name is allowed, so if you are Dr. Boone, your user name is not a problem. -- Pemilligan (talk) 16:10, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Possible conflict of interest (COI)
Hello, Martha B. Boone. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Charity Hospital (New Orleans), 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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.

I'm acting on the assumption that you are Dr. Martha B. Boone, as I asked about above. This assumption, and the possible conflict of interest (COI), derive from the facts that you edited the page using Dr. Boone's name, adding information about her books, supporting it by citing her website. In light of this, I've reverted your edit to the Charity Hospital article. -- Pemilligan (talk) 18:59, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
