Please help me with... What is the reason for this : "Tags: Visual edit possible BLP issue or vandalism"

This came up after I added the information about his wife founding a nonprofit organization. She also has a Wikipedia page which states the same information.

"He married Leslie Baker Graves in 1983.[12] Graves founded the Lucy Burns Institute, a nonprofit organization that publishes Ballotpedia.[41][42]" TheFinalTrophyWife (talk) 13:01, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is an algorithm that keeps track of edits made, in particular by new users, and certain types of edits flag certain warning messages. However, it's not perfect (big surprise there), hence the "possible" rather than just "this is a definite BLP issue". Assuming your references are solid, there's really nothing to worry about. If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.

Thanks for answering my question, Primefac.

Hi TheFinalTrophyWife! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 14:06, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with... How do I Deal with a Self-Referential article in citations ...?

I’m New. How do I Deal with a Self-Referential article in citations? If a Wikipedia Page includes citations that are provided from the Subjects own Personal Website, or a website that they are in control of, what is the protocol? Should it be deleted? Is it Flagged? Also, what it the correct terminology for this sort of citation?

For example: From the Leslie Graves Wiki Article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Graves_(nonprofit_executive)

‘Graves has also worked as a homemaker, in community theater, and in Catholic ministry.[10]’

The citation linked is to the website of the Non-profit run by Leslie Graves:

http://www.lucyburns.org/about/our-staff

but then it runs through to the website Ballotpedia.org, which is also run by Leslie Graves :

https://ballotpedia.org/Lucy_Burns_Institute

What would be the proper protocol to handle this kind of situation?

Thank you.. TheFinalTrophyWife (talk) 00:27, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
