Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Teshaffer. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Tanya shaffer, 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. •Cyberwolf• 15:49, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This morning I edited my mom (Juliet Popper Shaffer's) page to include my dad's name. I stated in the notes that she was my mom, and I linked to a third party source verifying that they were married. I also corrected the entry to show that she later became a full professor at UC Berekeley, and linked this to an external source. Both these edits were taken down, even though I said in the notes that I was her daughter, and I linked them to credible sources. Please tell me why these legitimate edits were removed.
