Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Sarah Halley Finn, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. 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. Materialscientist (talk) 02:09, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Can you please specify which sources aren't reliable? Thanks!

Sarah is my boss and I'm doing this in the context of my work. Much of my edits are directly paraphrased from a biography she wrote for herself with the help of her publicist.

Please let me know what I can do to make all the edits I made stick! Sage.m.ross (talk) 02:26, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

understood! I wasn't formally asked to make edits, nor am I getting paid to do so. If I attempt to edit again I will remove statements of conjecture and leave it fact-based. Sage.m.ross (talk) 02:33, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
