User talk:Mia Klein

Welcome!
Hello, Mia Klein, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Mia Klein, which 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. 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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! -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:48, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Mia
Hi Mia. I wrote the article about you on Wikipedia! I'm working on improving Wikipedia coverage about women in wine country (my family is from Sonoma, actually). Anyway, I noticed you made some changes to the article. You wouldn't know this, but, Wikipedia actually frowns upon subjects editing their own articles. Again, there isn't any obvious place stating that. However, we have a pretty strict policy about incorrect information about living people - so if you find something wrong with the article (dates, etc), then you can do two things: Now, when you let me or the talk page know about the problems, it's best to let us know reliable sources (i.e. interviews, publications) that cover that information or have the correct information. Due to liability issue, if there isn't a citation, then we could get in trouble (anyone can claim they are you online, so we have to cover out butts!). It's basically best for me/us to remove any incorrect information, then leave it changed and uncited. I hope this helps - I write a lot of articles about women, wine country, and so forth - and I'd love to help represent you appropriately on Wikipedia. Thanks!
