  Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Coleman Young II. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Laber□T 12:26, 25 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

I am the Senator's Mother. The information I added is public record and the previous information was incorrect.

Conflict of interest editing guidelines edit

  Hello, Annivorycalvert. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Coleman Young II, 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 which forms all or part of work 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. Melcous (talk) 08:25, 4 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

August 2017 edit

Annivory, I understand that you are upset about some of the content in the article about your son, however as stated above, wikipedia has a clear conflict of interest policy which means you should not be editing the article directly. Instead, you are encouraged to make specific suggestions on the talk page (or here) about content that you feel is inaccurate or should be changed. Note that this will need to be backed up by reliable, secondary sources, that is, sources that are independent and published - your own personal knowledge is not enough. Finally, please do not add content like "he believed he was called by God" - wikipedia is an encyclopedia so includes published and verifiable facts rather than statements of personal belief or opinion. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask them here, but please stop making the same kind of changes to the article as this could be seen as disruptive editing which could lead to you being blocked from editing here which does not really help anyone.
