User talk:Seneca62

February 2013
Hello, Seneca62. 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 Jillian Becker, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

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. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:37, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. The discussion is about the topic Jillian Becker. Thank you. Graham 87 10:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * If there are any comments you'd like to copy over, feel free to let me know. I'm blocking you as it seems the only way to get your attention. I'm OK with any admin unblocking you without consulting me if you promise to only edit this conflict of interest noticeboard discussion for the time being. Going forward, you should *never* edit any articles relating to you again and only make edits on talk pages via the edit requests process. Graham 87 10:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)


 * , I understand that you needed to block the user, as she may well not be aware that she has this talkpage (or that the article has a talkpage). I hope she responds here, and can be unblocked. I feel sympathy for the user, especially because I noticed her removing some material twice in 2016, after it had been added and re-added by two IPs. The removals seem extremely reasonable — the additions are malicious and damaging, just as she says in her edit summaries, and completely unsupported by the so-called source. We need to recognize that if BLP's aren't very well watched by anybody else, it's just as well, and very understandable, that the subject watches it themselves, and potentially acts. Seneca62, here are a couple of links I hope you'll find useful: Contact us/Article subjects and WP:BLPEDIT (which suggests that Graham87 may be putting it a bit too strongly in saying "you should *never* edit any articles relating to you again").

 * Yes, apologies, I'd forgotten about the biographies of living persons editing policy. There is also this guideline about editing your own article, which basically says the same thing. Graham 87 15:25, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." Personal websites do not meet this requirement, and, having a personal website, I know how cool it could be to drive traffic there using Wikipedia. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 13:32, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
