:Henry Inlander was my uncle and since his death and the death of his wife, my aunt, Antonia Inlander, I am the sole living heir to his work and legacy. This is why I used the material which you deleted. My apologies. Rburnettatemilycarr (talk) 20:52, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

File:Information.svg Hello, Rburnettatemilycarr. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Ron Burnett, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{tl|request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.{{#if:| Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 17:21, 9 April 2016 (UTC)}} Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 17:21, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Editing your own web page

Not a good idea. Not recommended. User name not a good idea either.96.127.242.152 (talk) 05:12, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Njd-de. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, :George Pedersen, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. NJD-DE (talk) 19:50, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi {{u|Rburnettatemilycarr}}. Just going to add to what {{u|Njd-de}} posted above. The edit summary you left when making the above-mentioned edit implies that it was an edit you made on behalf of the subject of the article. If that's the case, then please take a careful look at :Wikipedia:Conflict of interest because it would seem to apply to you. There are ways for the subjects of articles to seek assistance from the Wikipedia community when they have concerns about articles written about them and these are explained in :Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Relationship between the subject, the article, and Wikipedia; so, perhaps you could pass that information along to George Pedersen. For reference, things tend to go more smoothly when the subject of the article follows relevant Wikipedia guidelines in a case like this, then when they either try to make changes themselves or try and get someone they know to do so on their behalf.{{pb}}Wikipedia articles are written about subjects, not for the benefit of subjects or at the behest of subjects; in other words, it's an article about them, but not "their" article per se and the subjects of articles have no claim of ownership or right of final editorial control over article content. Article content is going to be assessed on whether it meets relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines and anything that doesn't is almost certainly going to be removed outright or revised as needed until it does, depending upon the nature of the content. Wikipedia pretty much requires that all content be verifiable and the way this is done is by providing citations to reliable sources (as defined by Wikipedia); there's lots of information that is true about subjects that could be added to Wikipedia articles, but only that which can be properly verified is going to be allowed. This is particularly the case when it comes to biographies about living persons and any major expansion of an article like the one you tried to make that isn't properly supported by citations is almost certainly going to be reverted by another editor, most likely quite quickly. Even when proper citations are provided, it's often better to be :WP:CAUTIOUS with major expansions and discuss them on the article's corresponding talk page so that others can provide feedback. Not only was the content you added unsourced, but there were also some other issues with it and parts of it would've probably needed to be rewritten to bring it more inline with Wikipedia's manual of style.{{pb}}My suggestion for you (and George Pedersen) moving forward would be to use the article's talk page to make edit requests as explained here. Try to keep your requests as simple and as brief as possible (e.g. change X to Y, add this sentence to the end of the "ABC" section) since vague requests (e.g. rewrite the entire article) or overly dense requests like the content you tried to add yourself can be hard for the volunteers answering such requests to properly assess or otherwise figure out. It's also important to provide a citation (or link) in support of any information you want added to the article so that can be verified by others; moreover, big requests are often easier to answer when they're broken down into bite-size pieces instead of trying to do everything all at once. The harder an edit request is to answer and the more time it requires to be properly assessed, the greater the chance of it being declined or only partially answered. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:06, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
