Hello, Sallyjkenney. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Law clerk, you should consider our guidance on Conflicts of interest and take a look at the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

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 ensuring their edits are verified by 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:


 * 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.
 * 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.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * 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. – S. Rich (talk) 20:20, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Sally, you might be able to have your articles cited as WP references, but you should look at WP:SELFCITE. I recommend you first post proposed edits to the article talk pages and declare WP:COI. Then let other editors opine. Feel free to contact me with questions. – S. Rich (talk) 20:41, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Links to user pages and sandboxes
Please do not introduce links in actual articles to user pages or sandboxes, as you did at Rosalie E. Wahl. Since these pages have not been accepted as articles, user pages, sandboxes and drafts are not suitable for linking in articles. and such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been deleted, please do not re-add any such links, thank you - Arjayay (talk) 10:47, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

It may also be necessary for the text to be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello. I saw your note at Talk:Rosalie E. Wahl. Posting on the talk page is not adequate proof that you are the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder and wish to release this material under a compatible license, please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for an explanation of how to do it. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. — Diannaa (talk) 22:25, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

I sent an email with the information, following the notice, and it said I should also post in talk page, which I did. I am starting to see why people are dissuaded from becoming editors and why only 8% of editors are women. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sallyjkenney (talk • contribs)
 * Sorry you are having a bad experience. The instructions state you should place a  template on the article talk page. I have done that on your behalf. — Diannaa (talk) 23:06, 12 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I have replied to all the emails and sent the forms but have been unable to get the text restored. Please advise. Sallyjkenney (talk) 16:39, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I am slowly, slowly learning and not understand that the flags are done by bots because I am using so many of the citations that I used in a previous work. I believe I have followed the procedures now for ceding copyright for the case that generated the copyright notice.  Can you help me retore the work and take down the copyright?  I promise to work hard to make the page more wikipedia compliant.  Am learning a lot about citations and eager to start using DOIs rather than urls.
 * Sally Sallyjkenney (talk) 18:55, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I can't restore the text until a ticket is issued via the VTRS ticket system (that is the emails you have been sending). There could be a problem with the way your email is worded or the license you have chosen. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. Another option is to re-write the overlapping text using the instructions above. — Diannaa (talk) 20:21, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Copyright came through! I am back in business.  Will continue to edit to meet encyclopedia standards.  Sally Sallyjkenney (talk) 13:07, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you Sally and sorry, Wikipedia can be a bit of a bureaucracy sometimes. — Diannaa (talk) 16:04, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear Diannaa: I wonder if you might be available for some coaching for me as I delve back in to strengthening the page on Rosalie Wahl. In particular, I am wondering how to deal with the delicate issue of citing my own work.  Is that something you might be able to do for me?  Would also like to tackle getting a photograph from the public domain.  I have tried to find a wikieditathon in my area (South Florida) but no success yet.  But I did resolve the copyright issue, yay!  Thanks for your help.  Sally Sallyjkenney (talk) 15:02, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Sallyjkenney! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Rosalie E. Wahl that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
