Happy editing! Thank you for correcting the soprano's article. Do you know more? The article needs references badly, operas should be linked, - any improvements would help! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:19, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

September 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Tacyarg. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Mary Mills (soprano), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. 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! Tacyarg (talk) 00:03, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HiTacyarg! I am actually the Mary Mills that is being written about. I see some mistakes in my biography. for instance, I didn't win the George London Award. I won a Sullivan Grant. How can I prove who I am and change things? I am also now a Visiting Lecturer of Music at the University of North Texas. https://music.unt.edu/faculty-and-staff/mary-mills

How can I add citations? I didn't start this article, but I would like to improve it.

Thank you for any help on this matter!

Hi, as you are the subject of the article you shouldn't edit the article directly. You can propose changes on the article's Talk page. I will post the conflict of interest guidance below. Will have a look at the reference you've given, thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 07:55, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Overseasmom. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Mary Mills (soprano), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 07:56, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
