Hello, I'm MSLQr. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Jeffrey Vitter have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Hello, over the past couple of days, I have made significant edits to the page Jeffrey Vitter, which is about my professional career, to address questions raised several months ago about needing supporting references for the statements on the page and a more factual tone. I made edits to handle those concerns and to make the page factual, accurate, and documented, as mentioned in the revision history notes. What was written on the page before you reverted it is factual. If there are particular concerns about any of the reverted facts on the page, please let me know. I would appreciate having the page returned to the state it was before your reverted it, as everything on it was accurate. Thank you for your time.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, JeffVitter. 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 article subjects 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)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
