Thank you for messaging me re: conflict of interest

[edit]

I've added a note on my user page and have one prepared for the article on Matthew Formston - I see all my changes have reverted to the original though (he has paid me to update his page). Do I have to do them all again, with disclosure at the end of the article that I was paid to update his profile? I included citations of all articles to validate the changes I made, so I don't understand why none of it was kept. BreeStedman (talk) 21:44, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bree. The reason I removed much of the content from Matthew Formston is due to the fact that it was either promotional(which isn't allowed per WP:PROMOTION) and/or it was unsourced or poorly sourced. The latter is a big problem, as biographies of living people are under some of the strictest policies on the site.
Your additions are still saved in the article's history, which you can access here, no need to rewrite everything from scratch. However, since you have a conflict of interest, you're strongly discouraged from editing the article directly. That said, you're more than welcome to propose changes on the article's talk page in the form of edit requests. That way you can still suggest changes on Formston's behalf, and Wikipedia editors can vet/adjust your proposals as needed in order to comply with policy.
When you make those edit requests, please make sure to format your request in a "change X to Y" format, that way what you want added can be clearly seen, and doesn't need to be untangled from everything else in the event of some sort of problem. Also make sure to include reliable sources to back up your claims, ideally ones not connected to Formston himself(e.g. his own website/social media).
I hope that all made sense and wasn't too dense of an explanation. Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks! :) Taffer😊💬(she/they) 21:53, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask why do you keep editing my fiancé’s page and removing our relationship and his playing history? 2A00:23C5:380E:4F01:6563:7506:CCA9:8B9C (talk) 21:54, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because you aren't including a source to back up your claim. Claims on Wikipedia must be verifiable, especially on biographies of living people, which are under the strictest policies on the site. Please see the message directly above this one, as you similarly have a conflict of interest and should not be editing your fiance's article directly. Thank you.

Also take a look at the message I left at User talk:2A00:23C5:380E:4F01:CD9B:888B:D4CE:7065, which I guess you didn't see since your IP address changed. Let me know if you have any other questions. Regards. Taffer😊💬(she/they) 21:59, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
