November 2015

Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Marita Black, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! —C.Fred (talk) 00:30, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

• You need to provide a reliable source that shows that the Rita Black who owns Shift is the same Marita Black who used to appear on Grange Hill. I don't see anything in her bio at Shift that supports the connection. —C.Fred (talk) 00:45, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Marita Black. Again, you must provide a source that shows that Rita Black, the hypnotherapist, is the same person. Her biography at her hypnotherapy site does not mention her acting or screenwriting at all. —C.Fred (talk) 00:50, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

It's a bad idea to write about family members

Hello, Intellectualadvocate. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Marita Black, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
• instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• 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, the Wikimedia Foundation'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.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:11, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
