Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Tanya DePass has been reverted.
Your edit here to Tanya DePass was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/cypheroftyr) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 12:14, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Tanya DePass, you may be blocked from editing. Articles must have references so please stop removing sources & sourced content. Sariel Xilo (talk) 02:46, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

YOU KEEP CHANGING MY PHOTO.

I asked someone to update my information as my "Early life" section has been changed to just say I grew up poor as that is not accurate and I asked them to make edits to accurately reflect my Early life section and for an updated photo. Stop changing my photo back and there will be link sources put back in, as Springleaf is updating that information, and putting reference links back. Give them a chance to finish the edit before you keep reverting it. That is the photo I want there and you keep changing it. STOP. Cypheroftyr (talk) 02:49, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Cypheroftyr. 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 DePass, 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 {{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#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. You can follow the steps outlined at Wikipedia:Edit requests or put a request up at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard if you would like to request changes to the article.

In case it wasn't clear. I did not edit my page myself, I know I can't. I simply asked for an updated bio after it was changed and minimized without my consent. Even if the text of the bio isn't fine, leave my photo ALONE. That shouldn't be an issue to update, should it? It's really irritating that I can't change anything myself, apparently I can't ask anyone to make edits even without it being suspect. I just wanted my PROPER BIO there, and an updated photo.

Leave my page alone. I am not trying to advertise, or promote. I am literally talking about things I have done, that's IT. Now let my page alone and let updated changes be made so the page is accurate to what I have done and accomplished. That's all I want. Cypheroftyr (talk) 03:05, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Tanya, if you keep editing the article about you in the way you have been, you are likely to be blocked. Please use Talk:Tanya DePass to suggest improvements. For example, the content in the article about your childhood is sourced to an interview comment you made to The Guardian. If that's not true, you may want to state so at the talk page and explain the discrepancy. It might be worthwhile to push The Guardian to update or correct their piece on you.

I CAN'T EDIT THE ARTICLE. What isn't clear about that. I simply undid changes I did not authorize like reverting my photo. Why is this so hard to understand? I cannot edit my own page, that was pointed out to me when I tried to make edits when the page was first created. I AM NOT EDITING MY OWN ARTICLE.

NO one explains anything, they just make changes without reaching out first. This makes no sense and I am not pleased to be warned and threatened as if I am the one making changes to my own page. WHICH I AM NOT. Someone unaffiliated to me apparently tried to make a change and was also warned. That I Didn't even ask to do anything. This is ridiculous and it makes no sense people have zero agency over a page about themselves. Cypheroftyr (talk) 03:12, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Your article

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I've restored the image you wanted in the Tanya DePass article. You mention above that the claim the article makes about growing up poor is inaccurate. I've had a look at the source cited for that claim, and it looks to be a direct quote from you in a Guardian article. Did the author misrepresent the situation?

With regards to the other changes, I would encourage you or the people you're asking to make changes to draft them in a sandbox, which would give you more time to get the references in place before publishing (and avoid the situation of people undoing your changes for lack of sourcing). WP:PLAINSIMPLECOI has some practical guidance on how to address the issue raised above around a conflict of interest. Wikipedia:Autobiography#Problems_in_an_article_about_you has some additional info that might be helpful.

I also wanted to mention that by continuing to restore the changes in quick succession (which is called edit-warring, the editors involved risk being blocked from editing. Pinging @SpringLeaf17 and LaurenEMitchell: so they're aware of this as well. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:12, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
