Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Hello, Sharfari. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!

Working with a paid COI

It is appreciated that you disclosed that you have a financial conflict of interest. That page on conflict of interest, and the one specifically on editing for pay, contain further details on what disclosure is mandatory and how one should handle editing with a COI.

First, please note that you should not be editing the article directly, but should instead propose edits on the article's talk page. You may use the {{request edit}} template to bring these proposed edits to the attention of editors without a COI for evaluation.

Secondly, the material you added was very promotional, and needed a lot of cleanup. Wikipedia articles are required to be strictly neutral, and to not promote anyone or anything. Encyclopedia articles are meant to be a brief synopsis, not an exhaustive list, so a long and exhaustive list of everything someone has done is not appropriate. Additionally, neutrality is also required in tone, so we wouldn't use language like "ripe young age of eighty-five". Just "eighty-five" is sufficient to convey the relevant information. Similarly, while it is acceptable to refer to her as "Baddiewinkle" (since this is the name she's commonly known under), it is not acceptable to use "endearment" names like "Baddie". It should be used in full at every use. Generally speaking, if a PR department would approve of an edit, we will not, as we do not permit promotional material or "copy".

Finally, while we welcome anyone to provide their input on an article, including the article's subject or a representative from them, please note that no one owns an article or has final authority over its content. Content of an article is decided by consensus of editors based upon our content policies, and so may not always be what the subject would wish.

I hope that helps to clarify. If you have any questions, you're certainly welcome to ask. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 15:58, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
