User talk:OfficialRobDyrdek
A few notes
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I am Mz7. Wikipedia has a strict policy on how we handle information about living people—you can read the policy at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Living persons have a higher degree of sensitivity since they are liable to being embarrassed in real life by the content posted here on Wikipedia. I noticed you wanted to update information about your relationship status. Thank you for your contributions; however, we cannot include any information that is not verified by independent reliable sources (i.e. newspapers, books, reputable websites, etc.). This is to prevent the inclusion of inaccurate content—especially content about living people.
We also have a guideline called Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. As the subject of the article, you may find it difficult to remain neutral when editing pages about yourself. Thus, it is strongly recommended that you discuss all possibly controversial changes on the talk page of such articles—which you have done.
Finally, I noticed you have chosen the username "OfficialRobDyrdek", and it appears you have declared yourself to be Rob Dyrdek. Under our username policy, you are allowed to use your real name as your username. However, usernames that imply a relationship to a specific, identifiable person are sometimes blocked to prevent impersonation. Since Rob Dyrdek is a living, identifiable person, there is a chance this account may be seen as an attempt at impersonation. To remove all doubts of this, send an email to info-en@wikimedia.org with verification of your identity. Alternatively, you can just create a new account for editing under a unique username (usernames do not have to be your real name). You can also request a change in username if you want to keep the contributions you have already made. This is necessary only to ensure that this account is being operated by the real Rob Dyrdek, and not an impersonator.
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I do hope you like the place and decide to stay. Best, Mz7 (talk) 01:52, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
