Nancy Torresen

Hi Heythereimaguy,

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Misplaced Pages;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

If I see correctly, you had restored a birth date removed "for privacy" reasons in the article about Nancy Torresen without providing a citation. Are you sure that the information has been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public as required by WP:BLPPRIVACY, and would you mind citing the source you used when restoring the material?

Thank you very much in advance and best regards,

Hey @ToBeFree, I restored the birth date as part of a revert of a wider edit that removed other, publicly-available, information. I found a source merely stating that she was born in 1959 with no specific birth date. I'll add that in, thanks for informing me about BLP policy. Heythereimaguy (talk) 17:10, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Needless Reverts and Stifling Of Content

Hello,

Misplaced Pages is supposed to be free of biases, paid edits, or other conflicts. Please refrain from reverting attempts to make an article more objective, as you did at Misplaced Pages:Unnecessaryhealthcare. The edit was proper and objective and not controversial, so no need to immediately revert it.

Also, please refrain from exaggerations on talk pages, such as the claim that my edit at Unnecessary Healthcare was unconstructive.

In the event you have a conflict of interest, Misplaced Pages would require you disclose it and limit editing.

Thanks!

You can add your edit back in, but as I said in my edit summary, it's best to discuss this on the article's talk page first, since to others it may be a Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view violation.

Happy editing! Heythereimaguy (talk) 18:02, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
