Hello, I'm Tacyarg. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Baņuta Rubess, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please be careful not to copy and paste information from other sites on the internet - this is against Wikipedia's copyright policy. The second sentence of the lead was from https://rhodesproject.com/banuta-rubess-profile. Tacyarg (talk) 21:30, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I am Baņuta Rubess and I find the current Wikipedia page alarmingly misleading, based on very few sources, one of which is absolutely not reliable and which I contest. I have had many achievements, most of which are not listed on the page. Am I a reliable source? Please inform me. Thank you. Rakstītāja (talk) 01:48, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your reply. I will post the conflict of interest guidance below. It would be great to get the page updated to cover missing achievements - please post on the article's Talk page, with sources, to get this started. Tacyarg (talk) 08:25, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I still am not sure I understand. You want me to link the second sentence of the lead to the Rhodes Project Profile, is that correct?

It will take me hours and hours to update this page, so I would prefer to understand in what way I am allowed to proceed before I waste my time again. Rakstītāja (talk) 13:59, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think you have now started a discussion on the Talk page, which is what I meant, and another editor has responded - apologies for being unclear. Tacyarg (talk) 10:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Rakstītāja. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Baņuta Rubess, 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, clients, 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 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.
