Editing (Jackson Stephens) 2020
On March 30, 2020, I updated the existing page for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Stephens and was paid directly by SBW Ventures on behalf of Mr. Jackson (Steve) Stephens. I am a freelance editor with no connection to either of these entities other than that they needed someone who could edit Wikipedia pages. His page was a skeleton page created by someone else.

YoungStartup Ventures
Hi Sarah. Thanks for helping out around here. After having an involved conversation with a member of YoungStartup ventures, i found it a little concerning that there was a substantial appearance of positive contributions from you in the article which closely echoed the perspective I heard directly from the staff member I spoke with. Without accusing you of anything in particular, please be mindful of our rules about engaging in articles where one may have a Conflict of Interest. For example, if someone work(ed) for YSV or were hired to improve its article, we have a provision in our terms of use requiring full disclosure of that relationship. That said, inclusion of 'positive' information about YSV that is well-sourced and given proper weight is welcome. If I am completely off-base here, accept my apology in advance. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Jake Ocaasit &#124; c 19:27, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Reply to Jake Ocaasi
Hi, Jake. To: Ocaasit &#124; c 19:27, 18 September 2015 (UTC)Not to worry, I have never worked for YoungStartup Ventures and I was not hired to make changes on their page. Someone asked me to do a favor to add content, and I have never even met anyone at that company or anyone related to that company. Later, as I was editing an unrelated book, I realized I had made some mistakes on the YSV Web page and needed to update some additional facts, so I made the changes. The original page seemed slanted in a negative way, and I just added factual content such as a Forbes magazine article and the company Web site, which made sense to me and which made the page more balanced. Hope this makes sense. Sincerely, Sarah SarahRMadden (talk) 16:41, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Sarah
You commented in Quora and I thought we might want to get more acquainted. You can of course read every dumb thing I say about myself in my userpage. Have you ever been to a meeting of Wikkans? Wikimedia District of Columbia get-togethers have been suspended due to the virus but they still do online sessions. Hmm, I'll get back to our discusssion in Quora but here in Wikispace there's a better chance of finding a more interested audience here in Wikispace. Oh, come to think of it, join the Wiknic tomorrow! Wiknic Jim.henderson (talk) 16:03, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, SarahRMadden. I noticed that your recent edit to Jackson Stephens added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 02:05, 13 January 2023 (UTC)


 * How do I post an image that should be on that page? SarahRMadden (talk) 00:57, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Click the "Upload file" link in the sidebar. But be sure to read the image policy first and make sure it's under a suitable license. Most pictures aren't.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 04:00, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
