Conflict of Interest

I see you are editing an article on Wikipedia with the same name as your user ID. If you are the person in the article, then you are in violation of conflict of interest. If you are not Louann Brizendine, then Wikipedia:Naming conventions (identity) apply to your user ID. Please reply to this so that more confusion, or problems do not result from the article name, and your user name. Thank you. I would also advise that you refrain from editing the article of the same name as your User ID until this is settled. Thank you. - Jeeny ^Talk 20:35, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Please respond if you are the person, or if you are closely related to the person in the article, in any way. I will try to balance this article, and do some research. I will also bring this to the attention of a third party to help with this, as I am not familiar with the subject, nor the person. But, I am about being fair, honest and agree to the guidelines of Wikipedia. - Jeeny ^Talk 20:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

thanks much, i appreciate it. There are many many magazine, newspaper and journal articles about me, so the bibliography could be long. Is the entire list of those articles appropriate to add instead of just that one that was listed as bibliography? I am not familiar with what is appropriate other than factual information in the biography text that remains,. The text in the bio is correct and verfifyable information now. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Louannbrizendine (talk • contribs)

Give it to me, you cannot add it yourself, as I said, it is against the COI (conflict of interests). I will contact a more knowledgeable person to help with this, to keep it fair and balanced. You can put any information you may think important to the article, on my talk page, I am a non-interested party, so it will not "break the rules" so to speak. I'm trying to help. I'm for fairness and proper balance in articles. Special circumstances do apply for living persons, as you have rights, of course. Again, I'm not too sure of what I'm doing policy wise (I'm pretty new to this venue), and will enlist help from those more familiar with Wikipedia Policy. - Jeeny ^Talk 21:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

PS: It may be a while, but don't worry. I have it on my watch list. I'm pretty busy right now, but if you are satisfied with the article as it is now (I know it's not perfect, and incomplete) but is it OK for now until I have more time to address this, and to contact another person to help with this? Aritcles change day to day, minute to minute. As ANYone is allowed to edit an article. :) - Jeeny ^Talk 21:32, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Some info on Wikipedia policies

Please forgive me, I'm not too savvy with the Wikipedia language and where all the policies are. This may help you understand what Wikipedia is about by clicking this link; Wikipedia:Five pillars. (Side note; is it OK if I add your image to the article?) - Jeeny ^Talk 21:44, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

IMPORTANT

It appears you are able to edit the article, according this; Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Especially see this part Dealing with articles about yourself. Hey, I'm becoming a fan, and agree with your hypothesis, at least from skimming the online material. I will leave as is for now, and let others more experienced take over. Thanks, and welcome aboard. :) - Jeeny ^Talk 21:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Professor Louann Brizendine.JPG

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Professor Louann Brizendine.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:53, 25 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. +Angr 15:53, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Our template message about autobiography

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:56, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:57, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
