User talk:Simone north

The Day of the Roses
Simone, I have reverted your additions to the above article as it is very clear that you have a conflict of interest here having been a producer on the series. I was particularly concerned about the changes made to the plot synopsis to change it into a version that you imagined viewers would have experienced rather than the version written from the perspective of what viewers actually saw. Please don't try and assume ownership of this article. Wikipedia deprecates such attempts and editors persisting in trying to impose their agenda on articles can end up with their editing rights curtailed.

Hi,

I researched, story edited and produced the mini series. It was my production company. All I wanted to do, was correct, incorrect information about the mini series. I know what was in the script. It became a legal document and hence some of the point made by whoever, were not and are not correct. This is not a conflict of interest. I did not imagine. I made the show. I know each scene and all the dialogue. I would not assume what viewers thought or think. But I do know everything about the actual mini series.


 * I appreciate that and sympathise. However, Wikipedia is based on material supported by robust and reliable sources. New material inserted, provided that it isn't controversial or defamatory is generally left alone provided that it looks reasonable and is written in an encyclopaedic way, although it might be tagged as requiring references. However any significant change may well be challenged if it is not supported by robust sources. Please bear in mind, we only have your own assertion that you are the Simone North named in the credits. You could just as easily be Bruce Whipalong from Geelong adopting the name of Simone North. I am not for one moment suggesting that this is the case, but I hope that you take the point.
 * The other issue is the language used. Quotes such as ... is a moving account of those tragic events and  ...is a fitting epitaph to those who lost their lives. appear to be your opinion. For quotes such as this we need independent sources - which reputable newspaper used these quotes independently of any press release? Similarly the language used such as   We seen the police rescue and firemen .... is not in the third person as required by the manual of style. Please also read again the conflict of interest guidelines. You will see there a strong suggestion to avoid editing articles that you have a COI interest in and instead to make proposals on the articles talk page for other editors to consider and to include or not include as their judgement leads them. Please also sign your post by putting four tides at the end of each post. Thanks  Velella  Velella Talk  12:06, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
