Hi Laura! Thanks for editing Wikipedia, great work. I do hope you'll consider sticking around - whether to neutrally improve content you're knowledgeable about or beyond. I wanted to let you know about a project I'm involved in called the WikiWomen's Collaborative - we're a group of women from around the world that contribute to Wikipedia in over 240 languages. We vary from social media gurus to historians, students and retirees. You can learn more about our project on this recent blog post, I'd also encourage you stop by and say hi on our Facebook, it's a great place to meet other women who also edit! And you can share your work too. See you there! SarahStierch ( talk) 19:22, 29 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Hello, LauraLeeT. 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 David Gandy, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

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. -- Orange Mike | Talk 18:42, 4 October 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi LauraLeeT, I see you were successful in uploading two images to the David Gandy article. Congrats, they look great. Kem05f ( talk) 15:18, 26 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Thank you for your recent submission to Articles for Creation. Alexrexpvt ( talk) 08:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC) reply

Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.

• If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk.
• If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Just want to relay that Cumberbatch and Hunter have been seeing each other since late 2013 contrary to "early 2014" which the Daily Mail and other rags are reporting and is currently indicated in his personal life section.

• It's indicated in his profile for Elle UK here: http://www.elleuk.com/wedding/benedict-cumberbatch-engaged-sophie-hunter-november-2014-confirmed

• It's also indicated in his latest profile for People magazine. Scans of print interview are here as there are no digital copy available: http://cumberbum.tumblr.com/post/103576341571/69shadesofyou-okay-i-did-some-scans-at-work

NOTE: I know the Daily Mail is not reliable source that's the very reason why the info should be amended because that "until early 2014" was actually information from them. The scans are from People magazine where it says they got together late last year and have been together for a year now before getting engaged. He was even featured on the cover in this week's issue: http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2014/news/141208/cosby-cover-768.jpg. One can always reference a print article here and in this case scans of the interview are available to prove it. That's already two non-tabloid publications referencing the "late 2013" timeline.

Thank you for improving both Hunter's and Cumberbatch's profiles! 31.223.159.213 ( talk) 22:35, 26 November 2014 (UTC) reply

Here's a clearer iPad version. If the timeline is confusing it's safe to just indicate that they got engaged after a year of dating like indicated: http://38.media.tumblr.com/3baaf9e7fc0b0fab74807254f444a343/tumblr_nfmwiszdhL1ql37t2o5_1280.jpg 86.62.237.202 ( talk) 08:42, 27 November 2014 (UTC) reply

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for sock puppetry. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{ unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.   Bbb23 ( talk) 05:04, 4 November 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Bbb23:@ Cirt: I am not yet requesting to be unblocked. I have reviewed the WP recommendations regarding unblock requests and will wait several months before submitting that for consideration. Meanwhile, I am writing regarding a different matter.

Contrary to the speculation that has occurred about me, I am strictly a WP volunteer. I have never been paid a penny nor been compensated in any way for ANY of my edits on Wikipedia. Like most WP volunteers, I have worked on articles that were of interest to me - or on articles I noticed (by chance) that were lacking relevant information or sources. LauraLeeT ( talk) 03:59, 2 December 2015 (UTC) reply

You don't get to make requests concerning any pages at Wikipedia except to be unblocked or to discuss your block. Anything else will be removed (as I've done here), and if you are persistent, I will revoke your Talk page access.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 04:22, 2 December 2015 (UTC) reply
