Help me! edit

Please help me with...

Help!! Someone - other than me - has added a paragraph about a DUI on my page. This has happened before. I want to remove the reference and sources to this. Can you help me find out who is doing this as well?

Please get back to me ASAP..

THANK YOU.

This is a discussion that should be happening at Talk:Patty Wagstaff so that interested editors (and more than one person) will see and join in on the discussion. If after posting there you only get one person replying, you can then request a Third opinion. If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 14:13, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Echoing what Primefac said above... also see WP:AUTOPROB. You should not make changes to an article about yourself. Please note that you do not have the right of ownership or editorial control over any article on Wikipedia, even one about you. Content is arrived at by a process of discussion and consensus. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:47, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
As advised above, please do not make any more arbitrary edits to Patty Wagstaff. Despite any feelings you have, you do not own the article about you. It is imperative that you engage other editors in discussion on the article talk page, and attempt to arrive at consensus. Editing against consensus is considered disruptive and you may risk sanctions. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:09, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
It is not your article. It is about you, but you are not to directly edit. If you feel the DUI content is not relevant, start a discussion at Talk. David notMD (talk) 03:10, 30 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Aviatorgypsy. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with 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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Praxidicae (talk) 15:17, 31 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Notice of Biographies of living persons noticeboard discussion edit

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard regarding the content dispute with the article Patty Wagstaff. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:29, 1 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello again. If you view the article again, you will see that I have altered your birthdate to only include the year, and removed the DUI content. A full discussion of the reasons can be found at Wikipedia:Biographies of living_persons/Noticeboard#Patty Wagstaff. I hope this resolves this content dispute to your satisfaction, as well as the Wikipedia community's. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:00, 2 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
