Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Sonita Alleyne. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Sonita Alleyne, 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, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:39, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm HickoryOughtShirt?4. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sonita Alleyne, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Sonita Alleyne. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:06, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

DO NOT make substantive changes to an article about yourself. DO propose any changes on the article's talk page. You may preface your request using the template {{request edit}} to make your request be listed in a category page monitored by some users. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:25, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Sonita, what you are doing can't stand, and you are likely to get blocked if you continue. First of all, you must explain your edits in an edit summary. Second, to avoid being reverted because you, for instance, inserted promotional language or removed reliable sources, you should probably make smaller edits that tackle individual things. But Anachronist and HickoryOughtShirt?4, I note that the editor removed this phrase, "After being made redundant", which wasn't a good thing to begin with, and in the "original" version I note a few problematic things from the point of view of sourcing--and I note that the more recent edits by this editor don't, for instance, try to make our article into a resume by way of LinkedIn. Can we improve the article? But Sonita, this will only happen if you, for instance, suggest, on the article talk page, what the problems are. Please read WP:BIOSELF.

Sonita Alleyne, I have gone through the article and added back some of your additions. I couldn't find reliable references for some, however. Myself and Drmies have tagged content that needs adequate sourcing but I feel I have helped improve the article in sourcing and content. Please use WP:Edit requests if you have additions you would wish to make in the future. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:59, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

HickoryOughtShirt?4 thank you very much for your help and guidance. New to Wikipedia editing I am still finding my way around but you have been extremely helpful and I now understand the process and requirements much better. As guided I will use WP:Edit requests for any future edit requests and noted need for adequate sourcing. Sonita Alleyne (talk) 11:15, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
