SourdoughBakes578 (talk) 01:45, 17 July 2020 (UTC)Made changes to the summary to make more concise rather than separating out each piece. Left the career section as it elaborated more on specific details of the roles and responsibilities and did some grammatical edits. Linked to organizations to provide clarity on the roles. Removed early life as well as from videos and other articles there is a clear narrative on early life and linked to those sources.

Hello SourdoughBakes578. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Mariéme Jamme, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:SourdoughBakes578. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. HaeB (talk) 02:55, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, do not use deceptive edit summaries, as when deleting the part about the La Repubblica interview in this edit. Regards, HaeB (talk) 02:56, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

SourdoughBakes578 (talk) 11:39, 17 July 2020 (UTC)Hello HaeB, in regards to your question of employment I am not employed by the person from the article or have been. I have heard her speak at talks and online for technology and have seen her page before. The addition to the other articles like from La Repubblica was surprising when I came back but after looking into it, the discrepancy comes from one interview with CNN. Saying this, in the CNN video interview it only brings up a question of when she goes to France not why specifically and doesn't raise the question of her relationship with her mother. After researching I found multiple videos and interviews of her mentioning her childhood I thought removing the LA Repubblica link article was best. If not, happy to know why.

The addition of the conflicting stories just appeared odd to me as there are a lot of sources that point to the narrative I have heard in my original edits and was unsure why inclusion of articles that raise questions. Again, happy to understand the removal of the edits was just confused.
 * Thank you for your responses. Your edit to this article came shortly after one by another account who has since identified as the article's subject on the talk page.
 * Your observation about the CNN interview does not seem to accurate. (She does actually talk about her reasons for going to France, starting around 5:30, e.g. "...also [so] I don't get privileged like many Senegalese people like me get sometime when you are part of this aristocrat system in Senegal, so I had to go all the way to France to find my way, and that was in 1992 when my dad died", and then the interviewer follows up asking "So you went to France. Why was that so important?"). And in any case it does not speak to the discrepancies that La Repubblica pointed out, with her later claims of having lived in orphanages and then being brought to France at the age of 13 as a victim of trafficking. If you want to make further changes regarding this matter, please use the article's talk page (where other editors can follow along too) to explain them.
