September 2013[edit]

Hello, Lonniepark2. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Lonnie Park, 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. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 00:15, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lonnie Park[edit]

I don't know if you are Park or if you work with him, but you have to understand the article Lonnie Park is not yours, it is owned by the Wikimedia Foundation, owner of the brand "Wikipedia". As such, you have to understand that writing autobiographies is not easy. When writing them it is normal to add content like "His father’s first words when Lonnie was born were “He is going to play piano”.", but that information is irrelevant to the reader. Also, Park is a living person, as such the policy about living people applies. You cannot insert material about a living person in Wikipedia without citing an inline reference (<ref></ref></ref>). If the content is copied from another website, including Park's, you are creating a copyright violation. I recommend you to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest because multiple statements you added are points of view, like "Lonnie’s journey from his gospel roots to the Grammys has been action packed." We can't give this to the reader, these are opinions not facts. So please, don't add unsourced content to Park's biography without citing where are you obtaining the information and downgrade the tone of these facts. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect?
