October 2013

Hello, I'm Rivertorch. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Agatha Christie without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Hello, Rivertorch, it was not a mistake and indeed I took it down again the false Agatha Christie signature. Please do not remove again my change as it is correct. I am been asked to do so, by the company who manage and license ACL, Acorn Productions Limited. You can check the information that I am talking about on the web, just google it "Acorn Productions Limited" or go in the official website of "Agatha Christie" on the page contacts and you can see what I double check this.

Hmm. Thanks for using an edit summary the second time, but that's not quite the way we do things around here. If you believe the signature is "false" (i.e., not Christie's actual signature), the correct procedure would be to nominate the file for deletion; if you can make a compelling case that it isn't Christie's signature, I can pretty much guarantee that your nomination will succeed. But simply removing it from the article does absolutely no good; someone else will simply add it back in again. (Lots of author articles have signatures in the infobox.) That you're in the employ of Acorn Productions Limited would be utterly irrelevant except for the fact that you apparently have a conflict of interest that you have now belatedly disclosed. (Incidentally, no one will take your word for it that you are acting on behalf of any entity. To establish such a relationship, you'd need to use WP:OTRS.) In any event, I have contacted the editor who originally uploaded the file and advised him of this discussion. Let's wait and see what he says—there's no hurry—but in the meantime please do not remove the image again if someone else reinserts it. Edit warring is prohibited.

The editor who originally uploaded it has said that it "sufficiently matches all other online versions of Christie's signature to demonstrate its authenticity". I concur. More specifically, the signature on the Acorn Productions site (to which you referred me) looks substantially similar to the signature in the image you removed. Therefore, I am strongly inclined to support its being re-added to the article. If you disagree, please either provide a policy-based reason for removing it (preferably on the article's talk page so that other users are made aware of the question) or else nominate it for deletion.

Hi Rivertorch, thanks a lot for letting me know what's the correct procedure is, I was not aware indeed. I will pass in this case the query to whom it may concerns and that will have more time to follow up this issue. Regarding what the editor said I understand his/her point of view, but believe me that if Agatha Christie were his/her granny or some other dear relative, I am sure that the answer wouldn't be "sufficiently matches all other online versions of Christie's signature to demonstrate its authenticity", as the fact is simple the signature that you like or not does not correspondent to the reality. This said, I wish you a nice week. Best, Lu. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.49.59.146 (talk) 10:01, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I'm certainly no expert on signatures, but I can say with some certainty that my own signature varies a lot more than the official Christie signature and the purported one on Wikipedia. Tell you what—I'll give you and your organization ample time to proceed as you prefer. As I said, there's no hurry, and it's important to get this right. If the file isn't nominated for deletion or a compelling case made on the article's talk page for its not being Christie's actual signature within a few days, I'm inclined to add it to the article again (if someone else doesn't beat me to it). Thanks for your kind reply. Rivertorch (talk) 04:00, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, LucreziaDeBorgia. 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 Agatha Christie, 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.
