Sources and Conflict of Interest
Hello! just a note that sources are very important on Wikipedia. Please do not add material that lacks sources, and please do not remove material that has sources! Your edits to Nancy Lee Katz put it at risk of deletion as you removed two sources, leaving only one.
Finally, you need to declare your conflict of interest on this page, and use the talk page to request edits. If you are being paid in your executor position, you need to declare that as well. Executors have no special rights on Wikipedia, please see WP:OWN. In general there is very, very, little interest in having official representatives of the people who we write about control those pages. This is because the most neutral party is always going to be the impartial person with no personal knowledge who is writing based on published sources, rather than a representative who is writing based with reference to their personal experiences and knowledge. I hope that makes sense. --- Possibly ☎ 02:37, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Eightheads. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Nancy Lee Katz, 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 or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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);
- 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. --- Possibly ☎ 02:38, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
