Hello, JessicaSteinhauser. 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
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. Thank you. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 21:57, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hi. If you are really Jessica Steinhauser, then I want you to know that I am fan :)
Even if you are not Jessica, please feel free to ask me anything about wikipedia. Regards, —usernamekiran (talk) 22:27, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello yes I am Jessica Steinhauser, although I prefer to be called Asia. I hate the name Jessica. Can we talk via email? I do have some questions, (like how can I post better pics of me - I hate those pics LOL) The formality of wikipedia is making me crazy. I understand the need for rules, but not even letting me post a better picture of myself, or a picture of my diploma so I can say I graudated, ARGH!! Please email me and let me know how I can post pictures that don't get rejected? (Redacted) Thank you JessicaSteinhauser (talk) 22:34, 19 June 2020 (UTC)Asia[reply]

Please note that I've redacted your personal email address. I assume this is not something you want available to the millions of Wikipedia readers.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:38, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Ponyo. posting email address publicly is not a good idea. you can email me through wikipedia. If you go yo User:Usernamekiran, there is an option to "email this user" visible in desktop mode. If you are on mobile version, you can email me using special:emailuser/Usernamekiran. Also, there are many guidelines, and policies on wikipedia; which we all have to follow. Simply put, a person can not edit about themselves directly, or about anything that they are connected with in real life. If we edit wikipedia within these protocols, then it is amazing, and very interesting place. —usernamekiran (talk) 14:43, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Asia, I have much experience in helping subjects who are not happy with the image at the top of their article's Infobox (that's that sidebar in the upper lefthand corner of the article). If you want to contact me, either here or via email, feel free to do so. To do so here on Wikipedia, you can either leave a message for me at the bottom of my talk page, or continue this conversation here, and ping me by putting {{ping|Nightscream}} at the very beginning of your message, so that I'll get an alert about your message -- just make sure you don't include the tags on each side that say "nowiki". If you want to contact me via email, just go to either my user page or my talk page, and click "Email this user" in the lefthand sidebar. Thanks. Nightscream (talk)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

A lengthy welcome

Hi JessicaSteinhauser. Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again.

Concerning your efforts to update your article: You can make a request at Talk:Asia Carrera. It doesn't have to be a formal edit request, as I expect you'll get a response regardless. Wikipedia:Teahouse is also a good place to get questions answered and help from other editors. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 03:43, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Asia Carrera

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edits to Asia Carrera, as we really appreciate your improvements to the article.

However, your last edit, this one here, had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

In addition, one line break is used to separate paragraphs and sections on Wikipedia.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a messagecontent for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 13:45, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An additional note regarding secondary sources. There are still citations from the Asia bio page but, ideally, we'd like these to go to zero. I removed a bunch a few months ago but left some in. Going forward, though, the citations need to be from secondary sources or they'll get reverted (as you found out). Don't sweat it, though. We've all been there.

Congratulations

Congratulations on your J.D., and welcome to the club! TJRC (J.D. 1994) (talk) 07:13, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you TJRC, and fellow J.D.! I really wish I had more time and energy to contribute on Wikis - I suppose things will slow down when (and if) I pass the Bar. Then I can continue my 3am deep-diving forays into my real passion which is European History (not useful; pays poorly) JessicaSteinhauser (talk) 08:17, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Helpful Hint

Hey there, Asia. I wanted to give you a helpful hint when making edits to your page: don't highlight the fact that you're making edits to your page. It's against the rules (as you know) and, while most people are cool about it and your edits are reasonable and not self-promoting (e.g. "Asia was considered to be the greatest of all time."), all it takes is one stickler for the rules to notice and complain and you will be banned from making edits to your page. I've seen it happen. So, I'd suggest future edits be really discreet, as in don't give summaries with things like "clarified a little on my teen years" in them. Heck, I'd even suggest removing things like this helpful hint from your talk page. You might even want to think about changing your username. My two cents. Hondo77 (talk) 15:14, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! Thank you! JessicaSteinhauser (talk) 11:42, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Following Hondo77's advice could result the type of block or ban he brings up. Making edit requests on the article talk page is best practice. --Hipal (talk) 17:39, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
