Hello, I'm Escape Orbit. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Edeltraud Günther, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Escape Orbit (Talk) 16:52, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Edeltraud Günther
Hi. I reverted what you did to the Edeltraud Günther article for a number of reasons. I just wanted to explain them here;
 * Please cite sources for this content.
 * Please use a neutral voice and avoid adding opinions or 'talking up' the subject. Some of the words you use are not suitable for an encyclopedia.  Like;
 * "globally recognised expert" - this is peacocking. Recognised by who?
 * "a leading university educator" - this is an opinion.
 * "She is known for her work" - known by who? Just say what her work is.
 * "Edel" Wikipedia refers to people usually by their last name. Using their first suggests familarity.
 * "Edel is married with two children" - details of someone's private life should be sourced. Wikipedia should not be the first to reveal it.
 * "multiple leading overseas universities" - how many is "multiple"? Who says they are "leading"?
 * "her unique business research focus" - an opinion, who says it's unique?
 * "a passionate voice" - not a neutral phrase
 * "years of experience" - how many?
 * "made significant efforts" - not neutral

Hope this explains the issues with your change. This is particularly relevant because they article as-is is well written and sourced, even if out of date. Thanks. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 17:04, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Your Message
Thank you for your message on my talk page. I understand you mean well, but you need to understand a few things before you edit the Edeltraud Günther article further. Please click on the links I'm using below for further explanation.


 * As the professor's assistant you have a clear Conflict of Interest in editing her article. That means, even with the best will in the world, you are likely to not be completely neutral about her as a subject and Wikipedia would rather you didn't edit her article.  This is doubly the case when you consider that you are, in effect, being paid to edit Wikipedia, which Wikipedia has rules about.
 * It doesn't matter if Edeltraud Günther approves of your edits or not. Firstly, we only have your word on this. Secondly, it is not the professor's article, it is Wikipedia's.  So as long as what it says follows  Wikipedia's strict policies about biographies of living people, the Professor has no say in what is, or isn't, in it.

If you must edit the article, you must first follow the rules about your status. Please also try to be as neutral as possible. Writing for an encyclopaedia means the text should be very dry and factual above everything. Don't say how important or significant she is, instead itemise for the reader her achievements and recognition, and let them decide how important or significant she is. If you are going to offer opinions about her work, be prepare to attribute and, very importantly, cite them.

I'm sure you can improve the article, but you need to exercise care in how you do it. Thanks. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 19:38, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
