Lillian Glass[edit]

Hello, 172.248.36.46. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Lillian Glass, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 10:48, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Further re Lillian Glass[edit]

If you have concerns about the edits I've made to that page, please take them to the article Talk page rather than just restoring the material I've removed. The article was excessively promotional and needed quite a bit of work. If you have a different view, please discuss it there. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 11:40, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It would also be helpful if you would address the conflict of interest notice I've placed above. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 11:46, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not continue to make the same edits over and over, without discussion at the article Talk page. You are on the verge of an edit war, which if continued may cause you to lose your editing privileges. JohnInDC (talk) 22:24, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

October 2016[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Lillian Glass, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.

Repeated restoration of material at Lillian Glass[edit]

I have made a variety of edits to that page to bring it into line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Among other things I've removed excessively promotional material, removed statements that were not supported by the cited sources, removed sources that cannot be accessed by readers - and have exhaustively summarized my thinking both in edit summaries and on the article Talk page. Twice you have restored material that I've removed. You have not provided any summary of your edits in the edit summary field and have not explained your reasoning, or articulated any objections on the article Talk page. At least two of your restorations are flat-out wrong, for instance this instance where you restored material about the subject's education, and a reference, where the reference is simply silent on, and does not support, the point you have cited it for. In that same edit, you restored a link to a YouTube video that cannot be viewed in the US for copyright reasons, and accordingly does not establish the thing you are citing it for. Those are specific problems. More generally you have been re-inserting lengthy and in my view, excessive, lists of the celebrity clients whom the subject has worked with during her career. As I said on the article Talk page, that kind of detail may be appropriate for a CV - or for the subject's personal webpage - but not for an encyclopedia article.

I am offering these comments, both general and specific, to help you understand that repeatedly re-inserting the material is not going to lead to its remaining there. If you believe I've gone too far in removing promotional language, or that (for example) it is important in understanding the subject for readers to know each and every celebrity client the subject has worked with, then raise those concerns on the article Talk page, where you, and I, and other interested editors can discuss the issue(s). And, to be candid, I am also offering these comments so that if you continue to add back in this material, I can point to this entry as evidence that you were warned about the possible consequences of refusing to collaborate with the encyclopedia's other editors.
