Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Alfromgib. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article The Broadbeach Senior Citizens Centre Inc., 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 which forms all or part of work 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. 331dot (talk) 15:52, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

July 2017[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove speedy deletion notices from pages you created yourself, as you did at The Broadbeach Senior Citizens Centre Inc., you may be blocked from editing. 331dot (talk) 15:54, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Diane Evers, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 16:07, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Southport RSL. IronGargoyle (talk) 16:08, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Diane Evers[edit]

In addition to the COI advice above, you need to follow the same rules in respect of Evers' page also. You stated at the help desk that you have a close association with Evers. Also, not only did you remove the maintenance tag without addressing the issues, you then went on to add a fairly large amount of content without a single reference. You cannot do this, and if you continue to do so may very well be blocked from editing as indicated above.

Further, you have added bolding to the text. Please do not do this. Other editors now have to go through the article and clean up what you have done. Adding links to other wiki pages (using the square brackets) is acceptable, but only at the first instance. Anything else is known as overlinking and is to be avoided. Your restoration of non-grand-slam titles has again been removed. If something you add is removed with an explanation (as was given at the help desk) do not just restore it. This is known as edit warring and again can lead to loss of editing privileges. Lastly, simple words such as 'singles', 'doubles' and 'winner' are not capitalised if not part of a proper noun. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 16:35, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

additional advice[edit]

Not sure if you are following the *long* discussion on Talk:Diane Evers or not on the page move, but it is being discussed. However given the conflicting sources out there, it is unlikely that the volunteer editors will be able to come to a conclusion :(, your best bet is probably contacting the appropriate emails at Wikipedia:Contact_us_-_Subjects, for which this is a good example. That is going to be the best way to legally prove the name. (And prove that you are not really Barack Obama. :) )Naraht (talk) 15:22, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Southport RSL[edit]

Hello, Alfromgib. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Southport RSL, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Annie Soisbault moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Annie Soisbault, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Something to consider on Diane/Dianne[edit]

You claim to be Dianne Evers life partner and you want her wikipedia article to reflect the spelling Dianne. One problem is the official tennis organizations spell it Diane. Does Dianne realize she can petition for the WTA and ITF to change the spelling? It should be pretty simple as a 1979 Champion. Even the Australian Open spells it Diane because they take their cues from the official organizations. Stanislaw Warwinka was Stanislaw in every entry. He asked to have his first name reflected as simply Stan, and that's how it now reads everywhere. Dianne should be able to do the same. Since we go by sourcing here I'm not sure people will go along with a requested move I made when the official organizations spell it Diane. We'll see.

Hi May I supply more evidence for Dianne Evers.

Her name was also written as Diane Brown, Diane Evers Brown even more recently Diane Evers as attached. Yet no one bothered to ask her how to spell her name they assumed Diane was correct. I have contacted the WTA and ITF but have had no reply to date because they do as you have and refer back to the safe and simple answer not the correct way of investigating facts. It is hard supplying newspaper clippings because the picture is correct but not the spelling of her name. I have enclosed more evidence to support Dianne as the correct way of spelling her name. Most of The Web sites you refer to as Authorities placed their information on the WWWW years ago and have never looked to see if its correct or up to date. I have supplied links to current sites that have contacts to verify the information they have published 1.The Womens Tennis Federation (formerly The Fed Cup Foundation) 2. (IC Australia) The international Tennis Club Of Australia 3. KDV Sport (current place of employment) 4. Modern Rock. A place to put all her photos, mementos and history for her son in America and relatives to see as this was in storage for over 30 years [[

I would like to add more evidence to support my endeavour to Have Dianne Evers name correctly spelt. After She retired from the touring Cercuit as a professional player, Dianne married and was [[

[[

]] ]] based in Indianapolis IN. Her married name was Brown and In a few entries you will see that. I have enclosed some photos that shows Dianne Brown from reputable organisations she belonged to in the USA. when she divorced she went back to her Maiden name Evers

I do believe you, and I've asked to have the article moved to Dianne, but the number of sources with Diane may be against it. We'll see but we have to go by the process. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:12, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you,

I have written a letter to Tennis Australia and asked them to look at their web site details on Dianne and correct any mispelt entries of her name and suggested that they may be able to contact the WTA and ITF and ask them to do the same as i have had no reply from them.

Do official Tennis guest passes from Tennis Australia Showing a photo and Dianne's name not stand as evidence or The $350.00 Trophy Plate clearly showing her name and tennis event, web site (Modern Rock). Her place of employment and Organisations she is currently involved with not stand as evidence.

In a Court of Law I believe there is enough evidence shown and given to wikipedia to prove the name is spelt Dianne.

If you have anyone from the 70's /80's etc, showing you where they got their evidence to print the name Diane other than its the common way of spelling it. Ask them why I have so much information on that person. The Truth is that I have everything printed on her but after the fact, printed neswpaper information cannot be changed. (I have her Tennis history) Trophy cards, old and new photos, letters and much more.

We have never tried to change what has been printed in the past, but feel it is correct to fix a wrong. Please ask anyone who disagrees with my request how they would feel if it was their name incorrectly spelt. It is time for Wikipedia to show Leadership and stand up for the Truth.

If Tennis Australia do as I ask and contact the WTA and ITF (Rani... from Tennis Australia looked up Wikipedia & WTA during our telephone conversation). And they correct the spelling of Dianne's name, will your colleagues admit they were wrong?

More evidence for you: https://www.facebook.com/public/Dianne-Evers-Tennis

No one is going to admit they were wrong, because they aren't. This is an encyclopedia not a personal diary or book on Dianne Evers. As an encyclopedia we only put into it what can be sourced by reputable sources. Whether i believe you or not means nothing at all... only what can be sourced. Right now the governing bodies of tennis say it is spelled Diane and by far most press reports say it is spelled Diane. Your word and the word of a fan website don't amount to much. The trophy does, but they could have made an error on the trophy. Plus the player could have changed the spelling of her name at a later date. Players have done that in the past and in that case the encyclopedia article would use the name that was carried for most of the tennis career. So there are lots of issues here and no one is wrong and no one should apologize. I think we can get it changed here, but we have to follow the process and see what happens. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:57, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

More evidence. I do not think that Tennis Australia would have made that sort of Spelling Error on a Trophy. If Dianne had changed her name, It would have been mentioned that it had been done. We are not trying to change history or what has been written. The articles are about the same person the surname Evers supports that. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that should have correct information. Dianne Evers would like her name spelt correctly [[

]] I have had a conversation and sent a written request to Tennis Australia Re: Correcting The spelling of Dianne Evers first name on the Tennis Australia web site ( juniors and Open womens doubles champions)

and thought i would send you their email reply, enclosed as a jpeg

NOTE - I did get the article moved to Dianne Evers by going through the proper channels and laying out the best facts we have. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for doing the name change, it is greatly appreciated. I have been given school reports and year books from Kilvington Girls Grammar School in Melbourne, Australia to present as more evidence. I don't need to now.

Thank you for taking the time to take up the case for Dianne and understanding her dilema, but mostly for doing something her tennis friends didn't think would happen. Yours Gratefully A Fortunato. For Dianne Evers
