Yobot edit & Article feedback
[edit]The article feedback is nothing to do with the Yobot edit. See Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 90#Expanded Use of Article Feedback Tool for details on the Article Feedback system. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:30, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- To clarify, the rating system has nothing to do with Yobot. The rating system with put in place at the conclusion of the discussion Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 90#Expanded Use of Article Feedback Tool. I'd summarize it but I haven't read it myself. OlYellerTalktome 18:33, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
Possible conflict of interest
[edit] Hello Sedruol. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Sarah Holland, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Please also see Wikipedia:Autobiography.
In a edit to User talk: Yobot you indicated that you are Sarah Holland, and described the article Sarah Holland as "the Wikipedia site which carries my profile; Sarah Holland". This working suggests you misunderstand the nature of a Wikipedia biography. It is not a profile as is commonly found in social networking sites like Facebook, which is under the control of the person described in the profile. Rather, it is an unauthorized biography which may be flattering or unflattering, depending on what reliable sources have to say about the subject. Jc3s5h (talk) 12:56, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
