User talk:Clementmexico

Hello, Clementmexico. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 15:09, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WARNING: STOP removing good-faith edits (and legitimate references). Vandalism will not be tolerated!

Jennifer Clement[edit]

Hi there! I noticed you were making changes to the article Jennifer Clement. I wanted to let you know that I've reverted the article to the state before your changes because of sourcing issues: Wikipedia articles should be dependent on reliable sources. The version I restored included sources for many of the items stated; prose without sources needs references added. I would like to note that your work isn't gone but is preserved in the edit history of the page (here), so if you want to access that work, you can still find it.
Also, are you connected to Jennifer Clement in any way? Your username seems similar.
Let me know if you have any questions! You can ask me on my talk page, and I'll also keep an eye on this page if you want to respond here. You can also ask at the Teahouse question forum in case you want advice from more editors or I'm busy.
Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 15:30, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I am Jennifer Clement and Clementmexico is my username. I need to update this page as I have a new book coming out. Clementmexico (talk) 15:42, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editing an article on Wikipedia about you (or someone/thing you're connected with) is called a conflict of interest (often abbreviated COI), and it's highly recommended that you not edit articles with which you have a COI directly. The main guideline page for conflicts of interest is here, with the most relevant sections being the top through the end of the COI editing section (before "Paid editing"). This guide helps explain a lot more. Not all of it applies, in part because the article already exists, but it's helpful. Communicating on talk pages of articles is often the best way to get information taken care of. Another helpful, more specific resource is the autobiography guideline (including details in the If Wikipedia already has an article about you and Problems in an article about you sections).

I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 20:18, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
