COI notice
[edit] Hello, SFnativeAKM. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 23:25, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message. I am not being paid for this work. This is part of a volunteer Wikipedia edit-a-thon. All participants of the edit-a-thon receive the same list of artist names to work on. I am working from a list that everyone has. SFnativeAKM (talk) 23:59, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

[edit]This is complete BS. I'll try to help you establish nobility, since they obviously are notable. Carolina-parakeet-42 (talk) 04:22, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Carolina-parakeet-42

[edit]Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Tagishsimon (talk) 18:00, 14 January 2023 (UTC)- So has Vicki Lee Soboleff. If these get marked for deletion, please feel free to let us know at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red. --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:09, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, thank you!! I really appreciate the help. SFnativeAKM (talk) 18:15, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
- Should mention that you have had the very worst 'welcome to wikipedia' experience I've seen in a while; two very good articles declined at AfC, and a bogus COI notice. It shouldn't happen, but it does. I have taken a couple of the editors involved to task, elsewhere. WP needs editors like you, working on the sorts of articles you've started with. Illegitimi non carborundum. --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:46, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
- I would just like to echo what Carolina-parakeet-42 and Tagishsimon said, sorry that this happened. If I can help you, I write a lot of articles on Native women and many of those have been artists, please feel free to jump on my talk page or ping me. I may not be able to help, but I have networks of people who probably can. SusunW (talk) 22:50, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your help and for working on these articles. It does make me hesitant about starting new articles. I posted something about this on Facebook, and women responded that they have had horrible experiences on Wikipedia. SFnativeAKM (talk) 03:52, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- Best advice I can give you is if you enjoy it, keep editing. Find a network of people to collaborate with and learn from. It isn't an easy platform, but there are corners of it like Women in Red and some of the other projects that are very supportive and will help you learn the ropes. My first 6 months on here were awful, but I luckily found some good mentors and then about a year later Women in Red came along. Been editing about 9 years now, and for the most part I am able to avoid the drama pretty easily. SusunW (talk) 04:27, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
