Hello, I'm ProClasher97. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Amal Ghandour, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

 * Hi, I would like to make the following the changes to the page of the author Amal Ghandour, I am only adding further details about her. Everytime I make the edits, they get removed. I do not understand what I am doing wrong, as I added the source as mentioned. Please make the following edits on my behalf if possible:
 * I would like the page to read:
 * "Lebanese-Jordanian author and blogger Amal Ghandour (Thinking Fits) has worked in the domains of research, communication, and community development for more than three decades. Her 2009 book, About This Man Called Ali, was hailed by acclaimed historian Philip Mansel as the first biography of a contemporary Arab artist.
 * This Arab Life, she adds, “is an intimate rendition of the times that shaped us; the way we internalized our parents’ myriad dejections and disappointments; the pragmatism and silence that defined us; and the dispiriting inheritance we inexorably bequeathed our own children.”
 * Ghandour joined Ruwwad al Tanmeyah, a regional community development program, as Senior Advisor in 2009. She serves on the boards of directors for Ruwwad in Palestine and Lebanon, the International College (IC) board of trustees, and the Synaps board of directors. She also served on the Board of Directors of The Arab Human Rights Fund and as Special Advisor to the Middle East Global Centers at Columbia University from 2014 to 2017. (2011-2014).
 * Ghandour graduated from Georgetown University with a BSFS and Stanford University with an MS in International Policy.
 * Aeon, The Daily Beast, Washington Independent Review of Books, Midanmasr, and Canvas are just a few of her publications." Nourlyna 98 (talk) 08:33, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Nourlyna 98. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 organizations 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 request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * 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. Thank you.  ProClasher 9 7  ~  Have A Question?  07:48, 15 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, Thank you so much for explaining that to me, I am doing this as a volunteer, I am not getting paid for it. I would like to add more details about the author, I will disclose that I know the author. What sources should I add to be able to publish the changes I want to make? Nourlyna 98 (talk) 07:52, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Ideally, for reliable sources, secondary sources that are independent of the subject, but primary sources, such as the one you provided earlier, can be used, as long as it’s not a direct copy of the information copied onto the Wikipedia page (copyright violation) and as long as the information is not being used for illegitimate purposes (such as advertising and promotion), as those are contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.
