We think its disruptive that you would want to take away a families proud Jewish heritage and simply have it read German family. At that point in time not only were the borders of Germany not what they are today but its disgraceful to take away that identity from a family so impacted by the Shoah. 2601:142:200:86E:F813:A3C2:CD0B:8EAD (talk) 13:12, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The manual of style specifically discourages the conflation of ethnicity or religion with nationality. We don't replace "Norwegian" with "Lutheran." Additionally, articles on Jewish subjects are routinely targeted by anti-Semitic harassers. The practice is called "Jew-tagging," The vast majority of edits like that are from malicious editors. If your intent was otherwise, we understand, but please don't remove the nationalities of biographical subjects purely on the basis of their Jewishness, or change a nationality to Jewish-German, for instance. It is abused as a form of "othering" and is viewed as disruptive. Acroterion (talk)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Torontodecide. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Noether family, 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 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. Thank you. Bbb23 (talk) 17:49, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

External relationship being as part of the Jewish people? I mean maybe you are a citizen of Poland, so you should never comment on articles about things that are Polish? Torontodecide (talk) 17:52, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's more than that: you said that your family is related to the Noether family--Bbb23 (talk) 18:28, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

your defaming me with these assumptions. its not right. Torontodecide (talk) 19:38, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Then you need to clarify what you meant when you said you are related to the Noether family (diff). —C.Fred (talk) 12:55, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
