I welcome you to Wikipedia, but the edits you recently made to Lisa Bloom are excessively promotional, and have beet reverted. In fart, they were so promotional in tone that the article was  nominated for deletion as exclusively promotional in purpose, and, as reviewing administrator, I would indeed have deleted it had I not found a usable version in the page history to revert to. The additions in addition show signs of having been copied from elsewhere, such as a press release; this is never permitted, because it's a copyright violation. There is no reason not to expand the article a little, in proportion to her degree of importance, with sourced, neutral, descriptive, non-promotional material. Avoid adjectives, avoid vague terms of praise, and refer to her as Bloom (except in a context where there would be confusion with her mother). An article here is not intended to promote her career, or be a fan page, but an article in a general encyclopedia  explaining the key facts of her career. Just that, and no more. The goal of an encyclopedia is to say things in a concise manner, which is not the style of  press releases or  web sites, which are usually more expansive. As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of the organization wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know.

If you think you can do it right according to the guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.  DGG ( talk ) 04:03, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
