Your edit to Lauren Southern‎

Hello Vandelay451, and welcome to Wikipedia! In your edit to Lauren Southern, you claimed to be the father of Ms. Southern. To prevent impersonation, please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org so that the volunteer response team can verify your identity and claims. You may also find the FAQ for article subjects helpful.

Hello, I'm Emir of Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently removed content from Lauren Southern without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please review the conflict of interest guidelines

Hello, Vandelay451. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Lauren Southern, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Since you have declared that you are related to the subject, you should not edit the article. You may request changes at Talk:Lauren Southern, but you must cite published reliable sources to support any requested changes. —C.Fred (talk) 18:30, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Lauren Southern. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ^ᐁT₳LKᐃ 14:20, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
