Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments

edit

Mr. Petric, I understand that you are frustrated with the former state of the article about Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, the band of which you used to be the guitarist. However, I would like to request that you find reliable sources that support the changes you have made and add them to the article. Please see Help:Referencing for beginners for more information about how to do this. As per WP:Verifiability, Wikipedia articles have to contain information that can be verified by reliable sources (see WP:RS for what such sources are and aren't). Please post on my talk page if you need clarification about any of this. Everymorning (talk) 15:22, 30 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Bobster wiki. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the 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 take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Everymorning (talk) 00:21, 1 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the advisement. If COI status includes actually knowing all parties within the band in question and creates in effect - a COI relationship regarding the topic, then I encourage you and any related parties to roll the entry back to its previous innacurate and misleading version. No offense taken. I will, in due course - solicit a suitable neutral party actually interested in the history of band in question and cite the necessary "verifiable sources". Thanks for your help on this. Bobster wiki (talk) 00:47, 1 October 2016 (UTC) Bobster wikiReply
