About your username and your recent edits
editHello, Simonesheffield222. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Simone Sheffield, 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 ensuring their edits are verified by 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. Thank you.
I noticed also that there is already an account SimoneSheffield22222 whose name is surprisingly similar to yours. If you are the same user who edited the article in June 2011, please note that the use of multiple accounts at Wikipedia is only allowed under certain circumstances. And it is especially confusing to use names that are very similar to those of other editors. So if you are actually the same user as SimoneSheffield22222, please abandon this new account and continue editing with your old username. De728631 (talk) 21:08, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
Thank you but I don't remember my old password and I have a new email. That's why the new account.
- Oh, I see. I have marked your old account as abandoned, so you can not proceed with this one. By the way, please sign your contributions to talk pages like this one by typing four tilde characters

editHello, Simonesheffield222. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Simone Sheffield, 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 article subjects 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), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
- 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. —ShelfSkewed Talk 19:56, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
