 * Regarding the photo: you do realize that File:Delaney Gibson Profile.jpg is now free to be further modified and distributed with its license terms, right? So, a person could print photographs with that image on it, and it would not be copyright infringement, because it's a licensed use of the image.


 * Regarding Facebook fan pages: it's generally preferred to have a secondary source for information on subjects. So while it might work in the short run, it should really be cited to a newspaper or magazine story or the like.


 * Remember that the burden is on the editor adding the information to the article to provide the sourcing. If the source is not present in the article, the material is subject to removal.


 * Finally, just because the changes were made by her manager doesn't give them any special credence over good faith edits made by any other editor. Nobody owns Wikipedia articles or has exclusive/preferred rights to edit them. —C.Fred (talk) 18:16, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

If changes by you are changes by her manager, please review our conflict of interest guidelines
Hello MikPoz. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Delaney Gibson, 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. —C.Fred (talk) 18:11, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
