Welcome!

Hello, Scofell, and welcome to Wikipedia!

It appears that you may have a conflict of interest with the topic you wish to edit, such as your edits to Stephanie Vozzo. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Help me!

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Please help me with... 1) This is Stephanie Cofell. I've just recently divorced, August 12, 2020, (and can provide a copy of decree if necessary) and was seeking a deletion of the plural to "spouse(s)", only. If this cannot be done, that is understandable.

2) I, along with two other parties, am currently involved in legal proceedings (and am happy to provide Wikipedia with a copy of the Cease and Desist letter naming criminal charges as well, on my attorney's letterhead) with a (documented) unstable stalker, a jealous and dangerous "artist" who goes by many different names which I will provide upon request. "Ms. M" has ignored all legal warnings (writing that she has "tried to walk away" (false) all the while continuing to write about me (and the other two parties) by name), and flipping the narrative since February 2020, and claiming that I think "so highly of myself that I write about me". Along with her other baseless accusations, she has zero proof of this statement as she does not know whether I use virtual assistants or interns. Ms. M's documented history has shown that she attempts to monetize conflict by turning it into a fundraising opportunity for herself. If my page has ever been "reported" by or due to Ms. M's antics, please let me know so I may provide my attorney with this information to be added to all other documentation and charges as well, as she continues looking for attention and ways to "get me in trouble", thank you.

With regards to the second issue, PLEASE contact the WMF's Legal department, and read this before you do so. Regular users can't see any personally-identifying information and the users who can see it cannot reveal it publicly on-wiki barring extreme abuse; even if this qualifies as "extreme" a public revelation in this case would be wildly counterproductive. (I would also be very careful about what you say on this matter on-wiki.) —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Takes a strong man to deny...} 21:15, 24 November 2020 (UTC) (amended 21:23, 24 November 2020 (UTC))[reply]

Spouse(s) is not a phrase used just specifically on your page, but all biography pages with the {{Infobox person}} template. Even persons that have only have one lifelong partner and subsequently died. I'll close the {{help me}} but if you have further questions on what I or Jéské Couriano has said above, feel free to re-open it. — IVORK _Talk 21:37, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shared use and COI tag blanking

Hello. Given that in the section above, you state that This is Stephanie Cofell, and in a recent edit summary you state that I have fixed the issue for Ms. Cofell, it appears that there are multiple people using this account. Please stop doing so immediately. Shared use of accounts is strictly disallowed and grounds for an indefinite block upon discovery. I also want to ask you to stop blanking the {{COI}} template. As someone with a self-admitted conflict of interest, you are not in the best position to judge whether the removal of maintenance tags is adequate or not. If you take issue with the factual accuracy of our content, please file edit requests on the talk page. We have a handy wizard for doing so here. Thank you.

Edit-warring at Stephanie Vozzo

Your recent editing history at Stephanie Vozzo shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please stop removing the COI template as well as edit warring over the place and date of birth. Per the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, all content of a BLP must be sourced to reliable sources for verifiability. Since you are not providing a source (or sources) to support your claim, your edits are being reverted in accordance with the BLP policy. Please stop edit warring over the date, and provide a reliable source or take the matter to a talk page for discussion. Thank you. Java Hurricane 03:07, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for explaining, JavaHurricane, I thought it was user error that the changes were not "taking" and so kept trying again. My fault, completely. I appreciate your help.Scofell (talk) 03:14, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Scofell, you're welcome! I know these are policies are hard to remember, it was hard for me when I was new too. You can always ask me for help! Java Hurricane 03:18, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There really is a LOT to know and remember and I appreciate all of the help you provide on these Talk pages.

So there is no edit war or lockout, may I ask now how to correct two items on the page, please?

1) Date of birth in body shows as November 11, 1966. Correct date of birth is November 6, 1966. 2) Place of birth - Brooklyn, New York is now missing from sidebar under photo.

Are these two edits that should just be added after waiting 24 hours now to give the page and you all a rest? Haha.Scofell (talk) 03:21, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Could you please confirm that you saw my message above? I have removed the contested material for the time being, because the existing sourcing was very much inadequate. Do you have a reliable source that we could use to verify the birth date and place of birth? Best, Blablubbs|talk 03:31, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Blablubbs. Wow, that verify link is a long read and it is amazing how much there is still left yet to learn. Is a birth certificate a reliable source for both the date of birth, city and state?Scofell (talk) 03:41, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Read through this page for usage, parameters and formatting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Birth_date_and_age Is it acceptable to correct the date of birth in the body showing as November 11, 1966 to the correct date of November 6, 1966, if a link to public court (divorce) record showing date of birth is included in Talk, please?Scofell (talk) 03:08, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:Ronny Cox in Concert.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ronny Cox in Concert.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Update on File:Ronny Cox in Concert.jpg

I have updated the file description page for File:Ronny Cox in Concert.jpg to add source and authorship information. Unfortunately, the image still has no valid copyright information. While you have been given permission by Mr. Cox, this alone is not enough for Wikipedia in the absense of a public evidence of the image being released under an appropriate license; since he has full rights to the image, if you want the image to be used in Wikipedia, he needs to release it under an appropriate license. Please contact Mr. Cox again, and see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for more details. With regard to adding a copyright tag, unfortunately, it cannot be added right now in the absence of a valid license. The file remains subject to deletion under CSD F4.
