Hello

Hello, I assume this is Cindy Morgan herself? In your very first edit you have claimed to be Cindy. In any case, welcome to Wikipedia.

Your edits were brought to my attention from a notice at the conflict of interest noticeboard. You may have noticed that some of your edits to your page have been reverted by other editors. For the most part, they aren't because people were objecting to what you were writing, but Wikipedia has a manual of style that guides the way that articles are written, and your edits that placed your IMDB page and official web site in the body of the article itself were against our style guidelines. In both cases there were already links to both web sites in the article, consistent with the way that all articles are written.

For articles that are biographies of living people, we welcome input from the subjects of those biographies. You are certainly welcome to participate at your article. Just please be aware that we do have a guideline for "conflicts of interest", where a person editing an article is connected in some way to the subject of the article. For the most part, we ask that people who have a conflict of interest try not to make "controversial" edits to an article, such as removing large amounts of information, adding information that is highly promotional, or removing negative information that is properly sourced (if you were involved in a scandal that made the newspapers, it might end up in the Wikipedia article). A guide explaining how to avoid getting into disputes with other editors at your biographical article can be read here.

There is currently a discussion regarding your edits, as I'd mentioned before. You can find it here and you are very welcome to participate, it would be helpful if you had time to do so. I can also help you with any questions you might have, you can ask me at my talk page. You can also make suggestions about your article at its talk page if you have concerns about it. I'll also keep an eye on your talk page here in case you need assistance. Thank you, and again welcome. -- Atama頭 22:51, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SummerPhD. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Cindy Morgan 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 think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! SummerPhD (talk) 02:13, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

Hello, Cindymorganinfo. 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 Cindy Morgan, 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. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:46, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Please read WP:COISELF.

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Cindy Morgan. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I noticed that in this edit to Cindy Morgan, you removed content without adequately 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, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 23:46, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Please read WP:3RR and discuss your edits at Talk:Cindy Morgan rather than risk your account becoming blocked due to Wikipedia:Edit warring. UW Dawgs (talk) 00:14, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Help me!

My name is Cindy Morgan. Someone named "Jay Skidmore" has been putting up an unauthorized photo... again. My lawyer tells me that since permission was never given (and this guy did the same thing a few years ago) he cannot simply add to my Wiki page at will. ASLO: a big mistake I've been trying to correct. Somebody thought it was funny that a time short called "Up Your Ladder" was turned into soft-core porn" and posted it.

I'd rather keep this between us, as I've fired my techs for breaking rules.

Thanks you, Cindy Morgan

Please help me with...

Cindymorganinfo (talk) 00:31, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Well a few things. Anyone is free to upload a photo they have taken of you and release it under a free license. There is no "unauthorized" photos as long as the copyright licenses are in order. As for the "soft-core" porn vandalism. Sorry about that. We try to catch those things as fast as possible. I have added the page to my watchlist and will be keeping an eye on it. Now I do want to link you to a couple of our policies here on Wikipedia. WP:OWN states that nobody owns any article. Even if the article is about you, you cannot dictate what is on it as long as it is sourced to a reliable source and is neutrally written. Second, you have a conflict of interest on that article. As such, it is highly recommended that you do not edit the article directly unless it is to fix blatant acts of vandalism. We ask this due to the fact that it is inherently difficult to remain neutral and unbiased when writing about oneself. We ask that if you wish to add or remove material, that is not blatant vandalism, that you request the edit on the article's talk page. If you have any questions about this please feel free to let me know. --Majora (talk) 00:41, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

I understand that this is frusterating to you. My quick read is 1) Based on your statements, you should not be editing this article, at all (per WP:COISELF) and 2) File:Cindy Morgan by Gage Skidmore.jpg will exist at [commons.wikimedia.org (where media is stored for all projects) regardless of whether there is consensus to use it in this particular WP article or any other WP articles. Therefore, you may wish to go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Help desk and ask for assistance, as it seems to be a dispute about copyright(?) and that uploader's ability to upload that file. UW Dawgs (talk) 01:05, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

@UW Dawgs: There is no question to the copyright. Gage Skidmore is a professional photographer and has contributed thousands of photographs to the project. Being in a public place, Comicon, anyone could take a photo of Cindy Morgan and anyone can upload a photo they have taken under a free license. The Commons's help desk is not going to do anything about that. Commons is only concerned about copyright and the copyright for that image is in the clear. --Majora (talk) 01:15, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. IANAL, but am trying to leave open the general issue of the (actual) photographer being under a contract when the photo was taken and rights belonging to another entity -and possibly entirely different from the account which uploaded to commons. Not trying to create a conspiracy, just noting that only the relevant parties would know such particulars and I claim zero knowlege of those particulars.
