Herman Cornejo

Hi, MajoLavandera, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm FourViolas, an editor like you, with interest and experience in ballet. I'm planning to accept your draft, but first I need to make some changes to conform with policies. Please read through WP:PEACOCK, WP:PROMOTION, WP:CITE, and WP:IUP to understand what I'm doing.

For your part, I've removed the images for now because their watermarks imply that the photographers have not consented to release them under the appropriate license: see the Wikipedia:Image use policy, section WP:WATERMARK. Please leave a message here or on the article talk page if you can show that the photographers do consent. Also, if you happen to have a personal relationship to Mr. Cornejo, you are encouraged to disclose it to maintain good faith with other editors, and required to do so if you have been paid to edit on his behalf. Thanks again, and welcome! (You can leave responses underneath, followed by a "~~~~" to auto-sign.) FourViolas (talk) 04:24, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The text seems to have been originally copied from http://www.integrarteusa.com/herman-cornejo; as per our WP:Copyright violations policy, this isn't allowed. I've changed the wording to reflect other sources and added material, so it's no longer a problem, but please keep that in mind as you continue to contribute. Again, welcome, and sorry for the flurry of confusing policies! FourViolas (talk) 06:36, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi FourViolas! This is my first time at Wikipedia, so I really appreciate your work and attention. With Herman we are actually friends, but I am only helping him out post his Bio. I am absolutely not charging him to do so. This was the Bio he wanted to be posted here. It is very probable that he used it to be also posted on another site. I agree with all your changes. I am still a bit lost on how to proceed. How do I disclose my friendship with him? In great appreciation fpr your attention! "MajoLavandera (talk) 11:29, 12 July 2016 (UTC)"[reply]

Great, thanks for being a good sport. Disclosing is easy. Just go to Talk:Herman Cornejo, and paste the following near the top:

{{Connected contributor
 | checked = 12 Jul 2016 by {{u|FourViolas}}
| User1 = MajoLavandera | U1-EH = yes | U1-declared = yes |U1-otherlinks = [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AMajoLavandera&type=revision&diff=729466858&oldid=729441131 Personal acquaintance]}}

And then, if you ever make a WP:User page for yourself, mention that you know Mr. Cornejo personally and are aware of the WP:COI policy. You can do this in writing or with the following template:

{{UserboxCOI |1=Herman Cornejo}}

Thanks! I'd be happy to help out as you learn your way around and contribute more. All the rules you really need to understand may be found at WP:Five pillars; if you have any questions about how to go about editing, just leave a message on my talk page or go to the WP:Teahouse to find other friendly people. Good luck! FourViolas (talk) 12:02, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Again FourViolas! Thank you so much for your help. I just disclosed my identity and worked out. So THANK YOU! I have another question now: How do I know when the article has already been revised? How do I know if it is already approved and online? And, where do I find it to continue editing it? For some reason I do not find it anymore!(MajoLavandera (talk) 00:58, 14 July 2016 (UTC))[reply]

DYK for Herman Cornejo

On 24 August 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Herman Cornejo, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that ballet dancer Herman Cornejo is "not a fairy-tale prince", but "a believable, 21st-century hero"?
