Isaacson Invitational cup

Greetings! I see you've started an article about the Isaacson Invitational cup. I also see that you've claimed as your own work a photograph by LightSide Photography. Can you clarify your relationship with LightSide? I'm concerned that you may have a conflict of interest. —C.Fred (talk) 22:34, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - Sam Isaacson is my sister and Lightside is my business. There is no articles about this amazing event that is its 3rd year now so I created a page.

First, thank you for donating the image of the winners. That image is now free for anybody to reuse. Second, although you aren't barred from editing an article when you have a conflict of interest, you need to be very careful to make sure all your edits preserve a neutral point of view. —C.Fred (talk) 22:42, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi C,Fred - thank you. I have loads of images from the last few years of the Invitational cup. This page really is to add legitimacy to what Sam Isaacson is doing to raise funds for Cancer charities. I will try and stay as neutral as possible as really this is about Sam. Thank you for your time in reviewing this entry.

Be careful with statements like that. The article is not to add legitimacy to what she's doing. The article is to document the tournament if it is a notable event. The more you can show that the event has been covered by the media (and preferably national coverage rather than local), the more likely the article is to survive and not be nominated for deletion by other editors. —C.Fred (talk) 22:50, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Local is fine surely - otherwise wiki is just a mainstay of big press. Sam has raised lots of funds and is featured in a number of new articles from East Anglia.

Local is tricky because it doesn't meet the "widespread" coverage requirement. It's also hard to assess the editorial review processes at local papers. We'd hope they're good, but we can't prove it. —C.Fred (talk) 01:04, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
