Welcome!

Hello, GChinagliaJr, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Thank you Fred for responding so quickly. I must say I’m a bit confused. There can be no conflict of interest in the subject matter if the only subject matter I would like published is the truth. I don’t know who is so interested about publishing false claims but it’s deeply troubling that people completely unrelated to my family can have this type of control over something so personal. If anyone were to fact check these claims of people being who they are not then the question of Wikipedia’s credibility would surely come into play. Several publications have already given retractions because of these same false claims being made here. I am very troubled to see that I my family has been locked out by a complete stranger because I was correcting fabrications. Please look into this further. Be safe, G.

There is a conflict of interest, because you are holding yourself out as a family member of the subject.

That being said, if there are concerns that some of the sources cited in the article were retracted by their publishers, please provide links to those retractions on the talk page of the article or here. Then, an independent editor can review your proposed changes. Better, if you have published reliable sources, provide those, so we can add sourced material.

We cannot take the word of an individual asserting to be a family member as a source, however. —C.Fred (talk) 20:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
