Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Jules Hamilton. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Hello, Jph786. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Jules Hamilton, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
• instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);

Using primary sources

(Jph786 (talk) 17:29, 31 March 2016 (UTC)) Hey Melcous, I noticed you took out the TUMBLR citation I added saying it is unreliable and unpublished. Even though the website hosting the document is Tumblr, it is an image that's been public before and is indisputable and not forged. It's a signed letter with his number on it; a legit document. My COI aside, that's a most reliable source. I understand that social media is not considered a reliable source, but exceptions are made when the referenced material meets other guidelines and fulfills extenuating circumstances. If I wanted to undo it or call attention to it, start a discussion, what is the best way to do that and to remain good faith? I don't want to disregard your concerns, because they are valuable. I'm not exactly sure how to talk with you on the article page. I understand if you want to dispute that citation, but I don't think it should be removed. It's real. I don't want to be considered a vandal. I also value truth. (Jph786 (talk) 17:29, 31 March 2016 (UTC))

Thanks for your message on my talk page. If you think the letter meets the criteria to be used, my suggestion would be to ask for clarification and help at the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard and hopefully someone there who is more experienced with those things can help make a decision and then know how to use it. Cheers, Melcous (talk) 21:47, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
