Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. I noticed that you made a change to an article, People (magazine), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:06, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blaze - I am the PR Director for PEOPLE Magazine. PEOPLE's new editor in chief is WENDY NAUGLE. I would like to update the PEOPLE page. I would also like to update the cover, which is outdated. It is not a copyright violation, since PEOPLE owns the rights to the covers. KoolJool817 (talk) 15:13, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you are the PR Director than you have a direct WP:Conflict of Interest and should not edit the article directly. Also, it would be a copy vio unless People releases the cover into the public domain ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at People (magazine), you may be blocked from editing. You continue changing it and yet the source goes against what you change it to. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:25, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, KoolJool817. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page People (magazine), 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. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:28, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I told you I am the PR DIRECTOR FOR PEOPLE MAGAZINE.

I gave you my work email address.

What else do you need for me to prove I am a reliable source.

I can send you the current masthead of PEOPLE, which shows that WENDY NAUGLE is the current editor in chief.

My editing isn't "disruptive." It is accurate.

You are not a reliable source at all. What you are is WP:Original Research. I suggest you read this page so you know what actually is a reliable source. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:35, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's interesting because I am the one who updated the page with the last editor in chief's name.

I work for PEOPLE, so all of this is extremely confusing.

How does one now become a "reliable source"? KoolJool817 (talk) 15:47, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's the neat part: You don't. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:48, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How do we get the page updated with the correct information? 209.251.198.254 (talk) 15:49, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You forgot to log in. Ask this question at WP:TEA. People will be able to give better answers there (no not the magazine you work for). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:51, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any more questions please ask them at WP:TEA so that more editors can answer your questions. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:49, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
