Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Arye Rosen, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 22:24, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

My Name is Harel Rosen, MD the son of Arye Rosen. The material I entered was at the direct request of Dr. Arye Rosen, and he is the direct source of information about his own Wikipedia Page.

I, his son can corroborate the info from my own first hand knowledge. Dr. Arye Rosen will be reviewing the content, and informing me of any revisions.

How else am i supposed to "source" direct and personal knowledge? Mdeevl (talk) 22:42, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Mdeevl. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Arye Rosen, 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. - Arjayay (talk) 23:00, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not interested in who you are, or what you "know", especially as you have a WP:Conflict of interest, or what the subject of the article wants it to say.
Wikipedia is only interested in what has already been published in reliable, independent sources published by a body with a reputation for fact-checking - No blogs, no self-published sources, no bodies with a conflict of interest, no promotional sites no vanity publishers, no predatory publishers.
These sources must be properly cited in order to support any information added to, or changed in our pages, so the information can be verified as true in the future.
When you propose changes on the article's Talk page, please ensure you provide references from reliable sources that support those additions or changes, so that the editor who emends the apge can cite them. - Arjayay (talk) 23:07, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

All information on Wikipedia must be verifiable, in a published source. We cannot verify your personal knowledge; if information is not in a published reliable source, it cannot be on Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 23:10, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

There is no compensation for my contribution to this wikipedia article, I am simply providing corrected biographical information. The existing article is in fact, factually incorrect.

I am a family member with direct information about Arye Rosen, who has asked me to correct the article about him, and provided me with his Curriculum Vitae as a direct factual source. How can the article be corrected or amended better than by those with direct knowledge, especially since no "opinions" or subjective content is included. There is no conflict of interest in facts, is there? I am confused. Please let me know how to best achieve an accurate article in this case. Thank you!  :) Mdeevl (talk) 23:14, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

If the published sources in the article are summarized accurately, but are in error, you will need to discuss that with the sources themselves, or offer newer sources with more current information. If the CV is published somewhere, like on a university website or business website, it may be possible to use that, but please see below. 331dot (talk) 23:18, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Arye Rosen. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.
You were clearly warned about COI edits, and what you should do, above. Please follow these instructions - Arjayay (talk) 23:12, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your input. If I am flatly prohibited from making edits as a family member, I apologize.

I have not made un-constructive edits, nor vandalism, only factual changes. I regret that they were viewed in a negative light. Mdeevl (talk) 23:22, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

It is not flatly prohibited, you must post on the article talk page and make an edit request(click for instructions). 331dot (talk) 23:43, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
