COI notice

Hello, Playbookpr. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Lorna Taylor, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. - Richfife (talk) 03:07, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Sorry

Hi! I have read the policies. I was given the content which I used to edit the page by a friend of the page in question, and I wanted to help. I am a friend also. I realize now that I violated the policy (unintentionally) I am working to rectify the username issue and this issue. I have read over the links you suggested and I am sorry. Any advice on how to delete this username?--Playbookpr (talk) 20:02, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Username issue

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Playbookpr", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 16:32, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Really

If you don't deal with your username and COI issues, you will be banned from Wikipedia. Jytdog (talk) 02:20, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Sorry

I requested a name change on March 5, 2015 to Mustangsdtpa --Playbookpr (talk) 19:35, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

and voila! the name change is done! it just takes a bit of time for the process to work. Jytdog (talk) 20:48, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

That's great. Now.. the COI / paid editing issues? Jytdog (talk) 19:50, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

I was not paid to do it. I am a friend and another one of her friends wrote it, gave it to me and asked me to edit because some info was inaccurate. I realize now that it violated policies...heck don't you think if this was a paid position for me I might be better at it? I need advice on getting rid of this username? --Playbookpr (talk) 19:54, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

I will take the above as your declaration of COI. Please do not directly edit the two articles going forward. Please make you disclose any conflicts you have on additional articles you may work on. If you do not disclose conflicts you can be banned from WP. Thanks again, and good luck. Jytdog (talk) 20:52, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

2nd issue...now that some of COI is dealt with

Please never, ever mess with someone else's comments on a Talk page, as you did here. Please read the talk page guidelines. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 21:49, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Rest of COI issues

You also contributed a lot of content to Yann Weymouth. Per the COI notice above, what is going with your edits to that article? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 22:13, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

The information on Yann's page was incomplete, i.e., failing to mention his wife of 28 years and his son in the military. It also had several typos. I met Yann at an event at the Dali Museum, which he designed, and I made edits to the article that made the information accurate and complete. All articles and references were cited properly to my knowledge. Again, I was not paid to do so. I thought that's how Wiki worked, if you can contribute to making the article more accurate then you do so. I was new to Wiki edits. Also, your comments on Lorna's talk page are close to slanderous and violate at least 3 Wiki policies. I would kindly ask that you remove them. Again, I was not paid to do the edits and was trying to contribute to the accuracy of each article. Thank you. --Mustangsdtpa (talk) 22:31, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for responding on the Yann issues. So you are saying that you didn't edit the article a) at his (or any of his people's) behest, and b) nor for pay. Correct? Jytdog (talk) 22:41, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Yann, mentioned he saw it and he was upset it didn't mention his wife of 28 years. So, I thought it would be a nice gesture to help. Yann doesn't have people. He is 75 years old and retired> He is just a kind and sweet gentleman that I thought would be nice to help. I did not get paid. I just knew that the information was inaccurate and incomplete (along with the typos). So I did my research and made the appropriate edits. In fact, I noticed the person who wrote the article has been banned. With very kind and humble regards,--Mustangsdtpa (talk) 22:53, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

great. thanks for your answer. I will remove the COI tag from that article. Jytdog (talk) 23:08, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jytdog Thank you for clearing LT's talk page. I really appreciate it. Also, I was curious if you know if we will be able to get the tag removed from that page? Thanks again! --Mustangsdtpa (talk) 14:08, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

which page. Jytdog (talk) 14:15, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

This page no longer has our Talk history! But I didn't touch it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lorna_Taylor. However, the conflict of interest tag is still up there, so I was wondering when that may be removed. Everything in there is cited and document. Thanks.--Mustangsdtpa (talk) 13:49, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
