Happy editing! Dorsetonian (talk) 19:27, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia has a "house style" described at length in the Manual of Style. The additions you are making to Pamela Petro are not always following that style; it would be worth familiarising yourself with the guidelines as far as possible, or even just carefully observing the format of other pages. Also - and more importantly - inline citations are essential to substantiate the content you are adding: verifiability is essential, and content which is not verifiable is likely to get removed.
If you are connected to the subject of the article you are obliged to disclose that.

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, AlwaysMikki. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Pamela Petro, 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. You were asked last year whether you have a connexion with Petro - please would you answer that? Tacyarg (talk) 03:11, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
