August 2013 edit

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Mary Fitzpayne may have broken the syntax by modifying 8 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

September 2013 edit

  Hello, Kathedeutsch. 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 Mary Fitzpayne, 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. If, as it seems, you have a close connection to Mary Fitzpayne, you are advised not to edit the article directly. You are of course very welcome to make suggestions for improvements to the article on the talkpage. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:19, 7 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

It looks as if you may also have a similar close connection and possible conflict of interest at Eric Doitch. If so, the same advice applies: you are advised not to make edits to the article directly, but instead to make suggestions for improvements on the talkpage. Both articles would be improved by the addition of a picture of the artist and/or of a work by the artist, if you or someone you know happens to have access to such a thing and would like to upload it to Commons.
