Unhelpful edits

Your recent edits on the Sabrina Dhowre page are not only unhelpful, but didn't even have a reason for the edits. Please refrain from such edits in the future. Thanks. Historyday01 (talk) 22:39, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I actually work for Sabrina Dhowre Elba and was personally asked to make these edits, please kindly explain why you believe these modifications (and rectifications), which seem to have disappeared, to be unhelpful? Rbyrby (talk) 04:55, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, well that makes more sense then. I agree with what the other editor said about it, but I appreciate your suggested edits on the talk page. Historyday01 (talk) 01:32, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Rbyrby. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Sabrina Dhowre, 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 {{edit COI}} 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.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ––FormalDude (talk) 05:25, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for your message. I understand the implications and want to make clear that in accordance with your policy of BLP I am

simply seeking to rectify erroneous information and also update the page by using valid and credible sources. Rbyrby (talk) 05:34, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, so long as you properly disclose your conflict of interest on your userpage, and do not edit the article directly. You should propose your changes/updates on the article's talk page using the {{edit COI}} template. ––FormalDude (talk) 05:43, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the information. I have just submitted my first request using the template. Should I do separate requests for each section that I would like to edit? Rbyrby (talk) 14:48, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, individual requests are more likely to be reviewed in a timely manner than one huge request. ––FormalDude (talk) 16:29, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
