Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Yvonne S. Thornton. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --T-rex 22:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I take it you would like to have the page deleted, given the blanking, and have posted a message on the article requesting it. It usually takes between 5 min and an hour to delete (and can be undone if it is accidentally deleted).  If you don't want the article deleted, feel free to remove the  tag from the article.  If it was already deleted, and your intention was something else, you can contact the admin who deleted it (or another one), and they can assist you.  I would be happy to help with any questions, comments, or concerns (such as how to find the deleting admin).  Feel free to contact me by writing a note on the bottom of my talk page User_talk:TeaDrinker.  Thanks, --TeaDrinker 22:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

It is best if the subject of the article discusses proposed changes on the article's Discussion page, and lets other make the changes if they find them appropriate. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 02:03, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

You can speak to me like you've been doing. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 19:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

I hit the "edit" button to write this, hopefully you will receive it. It is very eery communicating with you in this way, to say the least, and very overwhelming for me with little to no computer intelligence to try to properly use this wikipedia. My question is: what happens now? Is there a panel of judges or something? I would just like to resolve this in an appropriate way following the steps put forth by wikipedia.69.115.117.122 (talk) 00:13, 15 September 2010 (UTC)Yvonne Thornton
 * If you're having problems communicating with other users, you should take a look at WP:TP. The COI notice is there to advise you to exercise caution when editing articles which you may be involved with. See WP:COI for more details. - Reconsider !  13:30, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Sir, I have no desire to communicate with others. I just wanted to correct the errors in the biography and move on. If, by correcting the errors, it has been classified as an autobiography, then so be it. I don't know who wrote the text initially, but it was incumbent on me to make sure any information about me is accurate. I've exercised as much caution as I can in making certain that the information in the biography is verifiable and accurate. Yvonne S. Thornton (talk) 13:43, 15 September 2010 (UTC)Yvonne Thornton

Hi, Ms. Thornton. The biggest concern Wikipedia has with the subjects of articles working on their own articles is conflict of interest. In many cases, the people will provide peacockery, make themselves look really good, or else say, "You don't need sources, this is about me, so I know what I'm talking about." It's usually best if you post on the article's Discussion page any changes you think need to be made, so that others can review them and post them for you.

Source for you in Long Branch
Why add this source to the article for Long Branch, New Jersey, when it makes no mention of you? There's already a source in the article that connects you there? Alansohn (talk) 20:49, 30 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the delay in response. This New York Times article "does" have mention of me and how I became a maternal-fetal medicine specialist (at the end of the article).  I have no idea why the reference is associated with Long Branch, New Jersey; however, it does mention my father and my family who were all residents of Long Branch, New Jersey. Yvonne S.
